    Introduction: The Art of Writing Lives / Tanya Caldwell -- Dr. Johnson's Apology for the Married Life of Hester Thrale': Hester Lynch Piozzi's Letters to and from the Late Samuel Johnson LLD / Lisa Berglund -- The Education of Alexander d'Arblay: "The Idol of the World" / Peter Sabor -- Trying to Set the Record Straight: Alicia LeFanu, Frances Burney D'Arblay, and the Limits of Family Biography / Marilyn Francus -- The Life of Isabelle de Charrière: 'Written by Herself' / Victoria Warren -- Clashes of conversations in James Boswell's Hebrides and Life of Johnson and 'My Firm Regard to Authenticity / James J.

The essays revolve around recognized male and female figures-returning to the Boswell and Burney circle-but present arguments that dismantle traditional privileging of biographical modes. The contributors reconsider the processes of hero making in the beginning phases of a culture of celebrity. Employing the methodology William Godwin outlined for novelists of taking material "from all sources, experience, report, and the records of human affairs," each contributor examines within the contexts of their time and historical traditions the anxieties and imperatives of the auto/biographer as she or he shapes material into a legacy. New work on Frances Burney D'Arblay's son, Alexander, as revealed through letters; on Isabelle de Charriere; on Hester Thrale Piozzi; and on Alicia LeFanu and Frances Burney's realignment of family biography extend current conversations about eighteenth century biography and autobiography"--
