16 May 12:30 to 14:00, Seminar, Fulton Building 212,University of
Sussex.<br><br>
<b>Professor Robert Fraser (Open University): Biography and the morality
of style.<br>
</b><br>
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.<br><br>
<b>Open event. No need to book, just turn up.<br>
