'Epitomizing literary biography'

edit

There was a line in this article about how Edel's Life of Henry James 'epitomizes literary biography'. Just to be sure, I looked up 'epitome' in the dictionary and while Edel's biography is widely regarded as the standard biography of James, there is no consensus that it is the most perfect literary biography of all time, the one which every other biographer regards as the model to follow, which is what is implied by calling it an epitome. In fact, at least one writer of note (I can't remember who, though - was it Updike? Vidal?) was of the opinion that Edel's Life is flawed by Edel's own growing impatience with James towards the end. Sorry I can't find a quote for this but if I remember who said it, I'll put it in here. Lexo (talk) 09:35, 23 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
