Provenance

Where it came from

Published in 2001 by Oryx Press, The Biography Book was conceived by Daniel S. Burt as a comprehensive reference tool for researchers, educators, and literary enthusiasts. At a time when biographical studies were gaining momentum in both academic and popular culture, Burt aimed to provide a structured map of the genre. The work was developed to categorize the vast landscape of life writing, organizing over 500 significant historical and cultural figures into thematic groups to help readers navigate the intersections between historical fact and dramatic narrative.

Burt, an experienced literary scholar, designed the volume to serve as a selective yet expansive guide rather than an exhaustive encyclopedia. The book emphasizes the evolution of the biography, tracking how real-world individuals have been interpreted across nonfiction literature, historical novels, and film adaptations. Upon its release, the volume was noted for its utility in libraries and classrooms, receiving praise for its clarity and the breadth of its cross-disciplinary approach to biographical source material.
