 Biographers
I maintain that all of Florence Nightingale’s early biographers were clearly overwhelmed by the amount of material available as well as by the continued sensitivity of some of it.
His attitude to secrecy makes him a strange choice as the biographer of a woman who had threatened to go to the public with her denunciations of official incompetence during the Crimean War.
The next biographer after Cook who did go back to the original material was Ida O’Malley, who in 1931 published an account of Nightingale’s life up to the end of the Crimean War.

 Positive Atheism's Big List of Thomas Jefferson Quotations
For if we could believe that he really countenanced the follies, the falsehoods and the charlatanisms which his biographers father on him, and admit the misconstructions, interpolations and theorizations of the fathers of the early, and fanatics of the latter ages, the conclusion would be irresistible by every sound mind, that he was an impostor.
I give no credit to their falsifications of his actions and doctrines, and to rescue his character, the postulate in my letter asked only what is granted in reading every other historian.

 Carpenter: Potter - the biography
The book was prefaced by a good deal of pre-publication hype including the three weekly excerpts published in The Sunday Times, a BBC documentary which was transmitted on the day the book was published and a series of radio talks on BBC Radio 4 entitled "A kind of fallen angel", given by Carpenter himself.
In his Prologue, Carpenter admits that he was not on the list of possible biographers which the estate initially drew up for Potter to consider on his deathbed, and that he never met Potter.
After all, Carpenter is a populist biographer who knows his audience and understands the universal appeal of digging the dirt.

A former military intelligence officer, he was hired as a kind of historical surgeon at the archives because he knows how to keep a secret.
But he will say that the conversations involve mundane moments in Nixon family life and the late president's comments on internal Republican Party politics -- details that would be fascinating for biographers but that a federal judge ruled 11 years ago were none of the nation's business.

 H-Net Review: Stephen L. Keck on John Ruskin: The Later Years   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
As most readers of this List recognize, biographers of Ruskin have been challenged not only by the complexity of his ideas, but also by the life which made them possible.
Nonetheless, the highlights of the life of Victorian Britain's most widely ranging cultural critic proved to be both arresting and well known: he had been shaped by his attentive parents, their evangelical Christianity, and family travels on the continent; he had begun to establish his reputation with the publication of
a rich read is that Hilton went to great pains (again, unparalleled for Ruskin biographers) to connect his subject to the lives of many of the figures who seem to dot the landscape of Ruskin's writings.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.10.19
Gaca lists the rituals Greeks would have had to give up in order to be Christians (187) and notes that baptism would not have removed their belief in Aphrodite, lending Tatian a certain logic (First Commandment = no Aphrodite = no sex, 236-37).
Wrong sex in the Pentateuch is sex that constitutes apostasy, either "other-theistic" or acts on a list of bdelugmata, "abominations" (122-23).
The list of restrictions on women Gaca cites from the Paedagogus is, after all, much like the attack on a list of behaviors in the Elder Seneca's Controversiae 2.7 (the case of the foreign merchant).

 Harris Classification: Pt. 7, Whitman Classification
Note that the list of individual titles is not nearly as comprehensive as the similar list of Poe titles.
Unfortunately the arrangement of the two lists is significantly different, particularly in the Y and Z sections; at this stage it is difficult to make substantial changes to one or other of the schemes.
In most cases a form of the title found in the item itself, or in one of the works listed in the bibliography, should also form a solid basis for establishing a uniform title for the authority file when this is needed.

We are, naturally, curious about the authors and the mysterious demises that seem to some observers "tragically appropriate" to their lives and art; biographical and first-hand accounts of Poe and Bierce are undeniably fascinating.
Snodgrass, having left a more coherent account, has generally been accepted by biographers, but he was a radical temperance man and saw in Poe's death a means of persuading others to abandon alcohol entirely.
Reviewing some brief biographical accounts will demonstrate to students their unreliability and, by extension, one very practical problem with attempting to use biographical information in interpreting literature.

 Kipling's biographers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
More important were the critical studies of the period, some of which verge on the biographical, though this is not the chief reason for reading them.
It may be that the reason Kipling has attracted so many biographers is the challenge of trying to confine the glass, the shadow and the fire — his life, his character and his works — within one set of covers.
While there is no new biographical information, Mallett has read widely in the field and provides a fair summary, setting Kipling in the context of his times.

 Amazon.com: Shakespeare : The Biography: Books: Peter Ackroyd   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
His feeling for the role of the theater in Elizabethan London, "a city where dramatic spectacles became the primary means of understanding reality," seems to come from an impressively wide reading of Shakespeare's dramatic and poetic contemporaries.
A neat surprise in the oft-parsed biographical material Ackroyd assembles is the record of a lawsuit in which Shakespeare was called as a witness.
As relevant as this point may be, Ackroyd does not indicate how such fear and horror are evident in the sonnets; nor does he provide a footnote for at least a partial list of biographers who suggest the writer died of venereal disease.

 Tony Rothman's Article on Evariste Galois   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In Paris, on the obscure morning of May 30, 1832, near a pond not far from the pension Sieur Faultrier, Evariste Galois confronted an adversary in a duel to be fought with pistols, and was shot through the stomach.
If this point had been clarified, the claim that Galois had written down the theory on the eve of the duel would be difficult to substantiate or even to suggest.

Curtis Ray Vaughn in his biographical sketch of R. Dabney gives this description of him: He was 6' tall, originally slender, but in middle manhood - stalwart and powerful.
His biographer calls him a "Democrat of the Calhoun stripe" - not to be confused with the Democrats of today.
He was a conservative (in the old sense of the word) - and he came under much fire for his conservative views in a day - similar to ours - a day of liberal thinking.

How could this illegitimate, impoverished, unschooled, procrastinating, dreamy boy from a tiny agricultural town re-create himself into one of the towering figures of western artistic and intellectual history?
That question has drawn numerous biographers to the story of da Vinci, who was born a century after Dante and a century before Shakespeare, living from 1452 to 1519, a contemporary of Christopher Columbus, Michelangelo and Machiavelli.
Beginning in da Vinci's own time with a laudatory portrait in Vasari's "Lives of the Painters, Sculptors and Architects," the list of Leonardo biographers goes on and on.
