Biography as history: Indian perspectives

Ramaswamy, Vijaya et al. (ed.)

The essays in this book examine biographies and autobiographies of people from different social strata and seek to show how personal accounts of individual lives contributes to our understanding of the historical momemt. Other essays attempt to understand the `biographies' of cities, institutions and organisations, while yet others undertake a deconstruction of hagiographical texts.
