About this book
Carl Rollysons Biography: A Users Guide is an informative and entertaining text for those interested in biography. No aspect of the genre from A to Z goes uncovered: issues around authorized and unauthorized biography censorship libel fair use public domain (referred to as "PD" by publishers and editors) and a great deal more-including examples drawn from published biographies as well as general and specific assessments of the biographers art. Mr. Rollyson demonstrates that biography has more dimensions than are generally gleaned from book reviews and academic discourse. In a lively and provocative style he argues with other biographers and critics avoiding the polite and vague tones of many reference books on the subject.
