<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Leon Edel has brilliantly provided for the art of biography a much-needed statement of first principles." --Louis Auchincloss<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Henry James presents here a revision of his <em>Literary Biography</em> expanded with six further essays illuminating what he calls the New Biography--an approach that draws on the resources of psychoanalysis, the biographer's own subjectivity, and the skills of the novelist. Mr. Edel includes a history of the art of biography since Boswell, criticism of some of the best-known biographers, advice for the biographer on documentation and the use of psychological theory, and a discussion of what Edel calls the supreme problem in biography--transference, the life-writer's emotional involvement with his or her subject.
