Course Description:
This seminar deals with the theory, methodology and historiography of historical biography. We begin with varied readings on the theory, method and historiography of biography, and then transition to deep, critical analysis of substantial classic and contemporary biographies about personae who lived and died in different parts of the world. Students read biographies of political greats, revolutionaries, mystics, artists, poets, musicians and more. No expertise in historical analysis required, or any perquisite history courses. Students enrolled must love to read substantial books, and analyze them. |
