7 Preface My involvement with biography began when I sought to test the principle that biographies had an existence as independent literary texts free from their anomalous treatment by literary history as documentary works judged for their accuracy and not art. However, criticism provided little elaboration of this view and almost no commentary on the style, structure or language of biography. Indeed, most studies of biography contained only descriptions of the research problems or discoveries of the biographer - or, if the work possessed a critical impulse, concentrated on the historical rather than aesthetic development of the genre. Yet, I believed that biographies required a critical reading as works of imagination and language if they were to be accepted and understood as works of literature. In an effort to amplify this dimension of biography, I framed a series of questions and explorations of which this book is the result. In part the problem for me was how could one attribute value to biography if the traditional moral defence of the genre, expressed by Dr Johnson when he told Boswell that 'I esteem biography as giving us what comes near to ourselves, what we can turn to use', was found unsuitable. What formal or theoretical properties could define the literary nature of the genre? I have tried to identify them by examining language, structure and theme in biography, in addition to such historical changes as the institutionalization of biography in the nineteenth century and the appearance ofthe professional biographer. Of particular concern has been the presentation of fact. Conscious of the discrepancies between fact and its representation, I have analysed tropological patterns and narrative techniques in biography in order to understand the transformation offact into what I call 'authorized fictions'. Paul de Man's remark that 'metaphors are much more tenacious than facts' plus the work of Hayden White coincided with my efforts to analyse the aesthetics of biography and I have found the work of both critics stimulating. And although I draw on biographies from various periods, I concentrate on those written from 1850 to the present and limit my reading to literary biography alone. Vlll
8 Preface IX Many have listened, encouraged, questioned and contributed to my ideas and to them I wish to offer my thanks. In particular, George Simson, editor of biography, has been a steadfast critic always ready to challenge and probe. Leon Edel, through his writing and teaching, furthered my interest in the subject. His arguments for the centrality and art of biography have been important guides for this study. Michael Holroyd was generous in sharing with me his concerns about biography, the result of his extended experience. James Olney remains an inspiring critic of life-writing who showed me how language and autobiography interact; he also manages that rare feat of continuing our dialogue on biography and autobiography in spite of great lapses of time and distances of space. W. E. Frede man has been a colleague who has both directed and illuminated certain paths of scholarship for me and is a continual example of the intellectual rigour found in nineteenth-century studies today. Arthur Mizener, Daniel R. Schwarz and M. H. Abrams were all important influences on my earliest conceptions of biography, criticism and literary history. S. K. Heninger, Jr listened to many of these ideas in their initial stage and always posed lucid questions that challenged my assumptions, while N. John Hall responded to what must have been prolonged monologues with good humour and grace. My wife Josephine continues to give me a better understanding oflife and literature. Doreen Todhunter is, as always, typist extraordinaire. I am also grateful to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the University of British Columbia Humanities and Social Sciences Grants Committee for support. An earlier version of Chapter 3 appeared in George Eliot: A Centenary Tribute, ed. Gordon S. Haight and Rosemary T. VanArsdel (London: Macmillan, 1982) and a portion ofchapter 5 dealing with Lytton Strachey was published in Prose Studies, vol. 4, no. 2 (September 1981). I wish to thank the editors for permission to use this material. I should also like to acknowledge the British Library for permission to use material from the Macmillan Archives, the Bodleian Library, Oxford, the Victoria and Albert Museum for material in the collection of John Forster and the Huntington Library for letters from their Forster and Carlyle collections.

9 Facts relating to the past, when they are collected without art, are compilations; and compilations no doubt may be useful; but they are no more History than butter, eggs, salt and herbs are an omlette. Lytton Strachcy, 'Gibbon' Nothing happens while you live. The scenery changes, people come in and go out, that's all. There are no beginnings... But everything changes when you tell about life; it's a change no one notices: the proof is that people talk about true stories. As if there could possibly be true stories; things happen one way and we tell about them in the opposite sense. Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea The biographer, after all, is as much of a storyteller as the novelist or historian. Leon Edel, 'The Figure Under the Carpet' X
