N2  - Biography is a literary and academic genre that only becomes a conceptual approach to historical science through the process of theoretical and methodological reflection. Current research defines biographies as the “presentation and interpretation of an individual life within history,” as “an individual life story that encompasses both the external course of life and intellectual and psychological development,” or as “a textual representation of a life” in which “a real person” is always at the centre. Biographies are thus what we might call narratives of reality.
