>Professor Robert Fraser (Open University): Biography and the 
>morality of style.
>
>This seminar will examine the craft of biography from the 
>historical, ethical and stylistic points of view. Does biography 
>possess a justification, and wherein lies its wide appeal? Is it 
>motivated by curiosity,or something more? What are the particular 
>challenges involved in writing the lives of poets, especially of 
>recently dead ones? Does it make any difference if one knew the 
>person whose life one is striving to evoke? Has the biographical 
>form changed over time, and does it continue to mutate? What exactly 
>are the pressures bearing down on the biographer, and how does one 
>cope? In grappling with these questions, a few glimpses will be 
>offered into the biographer's study, even into his or her storm-tossed mind.
>
>Open event. No need to book, just turn up.
