A Storied Life: The Apocryphal Biography and Autobiography
This session seeks papers that question the veracity of a biography or
autobiography. “A Storied Life” results when creative license or apocryphal
facts are used in a biography or autobiography. For the purpose of this
session, creative license is when the facts of a person’s life are adjusted
or revised to benefit the subject. The process may be conscious or
unconscious: a subject may purposefully mislead a biographer or may
misremember past events while recounting them. In addition, an
autobiography whose author has not been overly honest may become the
foundation for biographies which repeat the same information. Papers
should rely upon primary and secondary sources, such as letters, diaries,
and published documents, to explore how creative license was used in the
production of an accepted biograpy or autobiography.
