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.

L'étude des "fictions biographiques" est un champ délibérément ouvert. La formule peut en effet d'abord s'entendre comme un oxymore, au sens de biographies imaginaires de personnages réels, dans la lignée des Vies imaginaires de Marcel Schwob (1896), sens auquel la production littéraire contemporaine donne une indéniable actualité ; mais elle n'est pas sans évoquer également le roman biographique, récit de vie d'un personnage fictif qui reprendrait, souvent dans une perspective parodique, la forme et les conventions du genre biographique. Ces textes hybrides, au genre indécis, apparaissent comme l'espace privilégié d'un questionnement sur les liens qu'entretient la fiction avec la vérité, avec la connaissance et sur la capacité du récit de vie à se constituer en œuvre littéraire. Ce volume tente d'explorer la multiplicité des formes que prennent ces fictions biographiques depuis le XIXe siècle dans la littérature française ou étrangère, de tracer leurs frontières avec les genres voisins (biographie, autobiographie, hagiographie, histoire, mais aussi récit mythique ou essai), de cerner leurs objets privilégiés (hommes illustres ou inconnus, artistes ou témoins) tout en s'interrogeant sur la chronologie de ce genre, son archéologie et ses liens avec la modernité.
