Abstract

ABSTRACTIn the early 1920s, before Virginia Woolf wrote her now well-known essays, “The New Biography” and “The Art of Biography,” the Hogarth Press published four biographies of Leo Tolstoy. Each of these English translations of Russian works takes a different approach to biographical composition and, as a group, they offer multiple and contradictory representations of Tolstoy's character and the genre of biography in the early twentieth century. These works show that Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press took a multiperspectival approach to publishing literary lives.
