The Biographical Turn showcases the latest research through which the field of biography is being explored. Fifteen leading scholars in the field present the biographical perspective as a scholarly research methodology, investigating the consequences of this bottom-up approach and illuminating its value for different disciplines. While biography has been on the rise in academia since the 1980s, this volume highlights the theoretical implications of the biographical turn that is changing the humanities. Chapters cover subjects such as gender, religion, race, new media and microhistory, presenting biography as as a research methodology suited not only for historians but also for explorations in areas including literature studies, sociology, economics and politics. By emphasizing agency, the use of primary sources and the critical analysis of context and historiography, this book demonstrates how biography can function as a scholarly methodology for a wide range of topics and fields of research. International in scope, The Biographical Turn emphasizes that the individual can have a lasting impact on the past and that lives that are now forgotten can be as important for the historical narrative as the biographies of kings and presidents. It is a valuable resource for all students of biography, history and historical theory.

John William Cousin's A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature is a reference guide to the important writers in English history. From "Abbot, Jacob" to "Zangwill, Israel," Cousin's book features more than 1,600 entries on English writers, which the authors deems to include both Americans and other individuals living in British colonial territories. The entries vary in length, with more space devoted to writers of greater significance. Entries typically included a brief biographical sketch as well as a detailed account of the author's works of importance. Cousin's focus here is on writers of literature, and thus the book is primarily composed of novelists. A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature is an interesting text for true enthusiasts of English literature. Cousin's work serves as a worthy collection of biographical sketches of English language novelists, including many whose biographies cannot be found even elsewhere on the internet.

This collection of essays illustrates the growth of interest in the representation of individuals, which resulted from the changed environment within which Greek and Latin authors worked in late antiquity. The subjects all fall within the period of the Roman empire, and illustrate the importance of individual personality in literature for an age in which few individuals could hope to achieve political significance.
