DESCRIPTION

The first part of this fascinating account of a biographer's problems tells of the adventures of one biographer in tracking down clues in several parts of the world--accidental discovery, long pursuit of a watward detail, and suggestions of new ways of turning up evidence. The second part deals more generally with problems faced by all biographers, the most difficult being the decision concerning how much of the available material to use.

Originally published in 1970.
