Wolfgang Kraus (1924-1998) war der zentrale Akteur des österreichischen Literaturbetriebs nach 1945. Der gut vernetzte Literaturkritiker und Essayist, Gründer und langjährige Leiter der "Österreichischen Gesellschaft für Literatur" (1961-1994), Jurymitglied von zahlreichen Literaturpreisen, Programmleiter des Europa-Verlags und Leiter einer "Kulturkontaktstelle" im Österreichischen Außenministerium, wird anhand bisher unbekannter archivalischer Quellen beschrieben, seine (Be-)Wertungsprozesse von Literatur im literaturkritischen als auch kulturpolitischen Kontext charakterisiert, wobei mit der Fokussierung auf Kraus neben Aspekten einer "intellectual history" auch Elemente einer Institutionsgeschichte sowie zeitgeschichtliche Phänomene wie der kulturelle Kalte Krieg zu Tage treten.

A survey both of medieval biographical writings, and the problems of recovering medieval lives. Biography is one of the oldest, most popular and most tenacious of literary forms. Perhaps the best attested narrative form of the Middle Ages, it continues to draw modern historians of the medieval period to its peculiar challenge to explicate the general through the particular: the biographer's decisions to impose or to resist the imposition of order on biographical remnants raise issues which go to the heart of historical method. This collection, compiled in honour of a distinguished modern exponent of the art of biography, contains sixteen essays by leading scholars which examine the limits and possibilities of the genre for the period between 750AD and 1250AD. Ranging from pivotal figures such as Charlemagne, William the Conqueror and St Bernard, to the anonymous female skeleton in an Anglo-Saxon grave, from kings and queens to clerks and saints, and from individual to the collective biographies, this collection investigates both medieval biographical writings, and the issues surrounding the writing of medieval lives. Professor DAVID BATES is Director of the Institute of Historical Research; Dr JULIA CRICK and Dr SARAH HAMILTON teach in the Department of History at the University of Exeter.
