Description

Explore a new perspective on 19th-century life with Victorian Biography: Intellectuals and the Ordering of Discourse. Published by Routledge, this academic work rethinks the history of Victorian biography by applying Bakhtinian and Foucauldian discourse theory to major practitioners of the era. The text provides a deep re-reading of the writings of Thomas Carlyle, focusing on "Sartor Resartus" and Oliver Cromwell's "Letters and Speeches." This analysis forms the foundation for a central argument regarding how biographical writing evolved during this period. By examining the works of late-19th-century figures such as John Morley, Frederick Harrison, Leslie Stephen, and J.R. Seeley, the book demonstrates how their writing served as an argument against Carlyle's specific practices. Readers will see how these intellectuals attempted to impose cultural discipline on the biographical genre, making this an essential resource for students and scholars of historical biography and discourse theory.
