Writing Biography Historians & Their Craft
Between 7 and 9 September 2000, the Department of History of the
University of Nebraska–Lincoln held its first Carroll R. Pauley Memorial
Endowment Symposium on the topic “Biography and Historical Analysis.”
We invited six prominent historians in various fields to reflect on
their experiences as biographers. From their different perspectives, these
scholars offered their insights into the writing of biography as a form
of historical analysis.
