: Este libro examina la biografía victoriana y a algunos de sus principales exponentes desde las perspectivas de la teoría del discurso de Bakhtin y Foucault. Una relectura de los escritos de Thomas Carlyle, particularmente 'Sartor Resartus' y 'Cartas y discursos de Oliver Cromwell', proporciona la base para el argumento central del libro: que los escritos biográficos de figuras de finales del siglo XIX como John Morley, Frederick Harrison, Leslie Stephen y J.R. Seeley deben verse como un argumento contra las prácticas de escritura de Carlyle, y como un intento de imponer disciplina cultural a las prácticas de lectura. El libro sostiene que la biografía es un género clave para comprender los debates entre los intelectuales del siglo XIX sobre la circulación y el uso del discurso 'literario' e 'histórico'. Como tal, también es una intervención oportuna en el debate actual sobre el surgimiento de las disciplinas de 'literatura' e 'historia' en el siglo XIX.

This book rethinks Victorian biography and some of its major practitioners from the perspectives of Bakhtinian and Foucauldian discourse theory. A re-reading of the writings of Thomas Carlyle, particularly "Sartor Resartus" and Oliver Cromwell's "Letters and Speeches", provides the basis for the central argument of the book: that the biographical writings of late-19th-century figures such as John Morley, Frederick Harrison, Leslie Stephen, and J.R. Seeley need to be seen as an argument against Carlyle's writing practices, and as an attempt to impose cultural discipline on reading practices. The book contends that biography is a key genre for understanding debates between 19th-century intellectuals about the circulation and use of "literary" and "historical" discourse. As such, it is also a timely intervention in the current debate about the emergence of the disciplines of "literature" and "history" in the 19th century.
