“This absorbing book makes a rich intervention into historical fi ction, life-writing, and feminist and queer cultural history.” —Ann Heilmann, author of Neo-Victorian Biographilia and James Miranda Barry: A Study in Transgender and Transgenre (2018) “A fascinating exploration of the intimate interaction of gendered history and biographical fi ction [...] intelligently and incisively interrogates the deliberate use of fi ction to recentre marginalized female historical fi gures.” —Farah Mendlesohn, author of Creating Memory: Historical Fiction and the English Civil Wars (2022) Imagining Gender in Biographical Fiction addresses the current boom in biographical fictions across the globe, examining the ways in which gendered lives of the past become re-imagined as gendered narratives in fiction. It addresses questions of gender in a sustained and systematic manner that is sensitive to cultural and historical differences in both raw material and fictional reworking. It draws on theories of biofiction and historical fiction, life-writing studies, feminist criticism, queer feminist readings, postcolonial studies, feminist art history, and trans studies. Attentive to various approaches to fictionalisation that reclaim, appropriate or re-invent their ‘raw material’, the volume assesses the critical, revisionist and deconstructive potential of biographical fictions while acknowledging the effects of cliché, gender norms and established narratives in many of the texts under investigation.
