Definition:
A biography is a written account of the life of a particular person from birth to death. The work attempts to flush out the facts of the person's life and actions. A biography attempts to portray a version of the self, personality, or character.
The history of this genre dates back to its use by Ancient Greek and Roman biographers. The biography evolved through the medieval biography (hagigraphy - recounting of saint's lives) through the Renaissance.
The poet John Dryden defined biography as "the history of particular men's lives." Samuel Johnson wrote 52 biographical sketches.
In the Victorian Period, it was believed that a biography should not shake the public's faith in great men and women.
