Biography
is a genre of literature and other forms of media like film, based on
the written accounts of individual lives. While a biography may focus on
a subject of fiction or non-fiction, the term is usually in reference to
non-fiction. As opposed to a profile or curriculum vitae, a biography
develops complex insight and highlights different textures of
personality including intimate details of experiences. A biography is
more than a list of impersonal facts like birth, education, work,
relationships and death. It also delves into the emotions of
experiencing such events.
Following are resources for
finding biographical information on individuals.
