English Biography in the Eighteenth Century by Mark Longaker is a comprehensive study of the development of biography in England during the 18th century. The book explores the cultural, social, and political factors that influenced the emergence of biography as a literary genre during this period. Longaker examines the works of prominent biographers such as Samuel Johnson, James Boswell, and Edward Gibbon, as well as lesser-known writers who contributed to the genre's development. He also explores the impact of new printing technologies, the rise of literary criticism, and the changing attitudes towards history and biography that characterized the period. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of English literature, history, and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in the history of biography as a genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
