description What is the purpose of every biography? Tell a life? Pursue a form that accounts for an experience? Distinguish the singular that enables a movement of dissolution of life to structure it under a form of work? Some of these questions guide the present work, which proposes a journey through various moments of the English biography (Aubrey, Boswell, Johnson, Strachey) in which the search for a biographical method coincides with the definition of a singularity: intelligence literary that fascinates and seduces the biographer.

Tell a life? Pursue a form that accounts for an experience? Distinguish the singular that enables a movement of dissolution of life to structure it under a form of work? Some of these questions guide the present work, which proposes a journey through various moments of the English biography (Aubrey, Boswell, Johnson, Strachey) in which the search for a biographical method coincides with the definition of a singularity: intelligence literary that fascinates and seduces the biographer. ¿Cuál es el objeto de toda biografía? ¿Contar una vida? ¿Perseguir una forma que dé cuenta de la experiencia? ¿Distinguir lo singular que habilita un movimiento de disolución de la vida para estructurarla bajo una forma de obra? Algunas de estas preguntas orientan el presente trabajo, el cual propone un recorrido por diversos momentos de la biografía inglesa (Aubrey, Boswell, Johnson, Strachey) en los cuales, la búsqueda de un método biográfico coincide con la definición de una singularidad: la inteligencia literaria que fascina y seduce al biógrafo.
