Definition: Biography
(from the
Greek
words bios meaning "life", and graphein meaning "write") 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 a complex analysis of personality, highlighting
different aspects of it and 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.
