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-writers emotional involvement with his or her subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856248996128,"sku":"NEW0393303829","price":25.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/514BhX9QB_L.jpg?v=1781548529","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/writing-lives-principia-biographica-0393303829","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
