5 Favourite Biographers

Some excellent biographies emerged in the 18th and 19th centuries, but the art truly flourished in the 20th and 21st. Modern biographers, with access to vast digital archives and global resources online, enjoy research opportunities unimaginable for 19th-century writers like Elizabeth Gaskell.

What do we want from a good biography? Why do we seek insights into a person’s life, their achievements, and why they endure in memory?

Today I’ll take a look at five of my absolute favourite biographers who have written books about some of my favourite authors.

Curl up with a steaming cuppa, nestled into the cozy embrace of your favourite armchair as the winter sun streams through the window. While the soft hum of the heater lulls the house into a peaceful hush, treat yourself to a quiet moment thinking about great writers.

I sometimes think that, since I started writing biographies, I’ve had more of a life in books than I have had in my real life.”
