The different contributions included in this volume deal with aspects of biographical writing and other similar genres (semblances, portraits, etc.). These articles analyse theoretical and generic questions as well as some of the most relevant examples of the genre - with a focus on those written in Catalan. In addition, some of the articles focus on the relationship between biography and national images (nation-building) from a sociocultural standpoint.
The Research Group on Contemporary Literature from the Universitat d'Alacant has gathered contributions from several specialists in numerous fields and has selected a group of relevant works for analysis. In addition to studies on authors such as Andr? Maurois and Lytton Strachey, contributions deal with figures such as Josep Pla, Domenec Guanse, Josep Maria Espinas and Agust? Pons. Finally, some contributions pay attention to the biographical genre in the audio-visual arts.
The volume contains contributions in Spanish, English, and Catalan.
