Creative Lives examines how the biographical traditions of ancient poets and artists parallel the creative processes of biographers themselves, both within antiquity and beyond. Each chapter explores a range of biographical material that highlights the complexity of how readers and viewers imagine the lives of ancient creator-figures. Work in the last decades has emphasized the likely fictionality of nearly all of the ancient evidence about lives of poets, as well as of other artists and intellectuals; this book now sets out to show what we might nevertheless still do with the rich surviving testimony for 'creative lives'-and the evidence that those traditions still shape how we narrate modern lives, too."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Classical biography $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Biography as a literary form. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85014164 650 7 $a Biography as a literary form. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00832172 650 7 $a Classical biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863465 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 700 1 $a Fletcher, Richard, $d 1979- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2013075253 700 1 $a Hanink, Johanna, $d 1982- $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2014018410 830 0 $a Cambridge classical studies. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n42036318 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180104032000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7E1C22CF11D11E79D0FC10F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
