Sidetracks: Explorations of a Romantic Biographer

Sidetracks: Explorations of a Romantic Biographer
- Used Book in Good Condition
With this collection of short and fascinating biographical pieces, the award-winning biographer of Coleridge and Shelley offers a fascinating glimpse into the mysterious art of biography.

When researching, Richard Holmes has often become captivated by figures peripheral to his main subject, literary forays that he couldnâ€™t resist. These talesâ€“the forbidden love of John Stuart Mill, the bizarre novel of Oscar Wildeâ€™s tragic grand-uncle, Scott and Zelda Fitzgeraldâ€™s nightmarish yet cathartic final trip to Parisâ€“are part of what comprises Sidetracks, a marvelously original that includes letters and travelogues, radio plays, essays, and minature biographies. This book is a rare literary feast and an exploration of the creative processes of one of our most preeminent biographers.
