Abstract
In the act of composing a continuous prose narrative out of discrete data, biographers reveal the cultural presuppositions that condition their own interpretive categories. John Unterecker, whose Voyager: A Life of Hart Crane superseded Philip Horton's biography of Crane, rewrote Crane's life history in the interest of increased accuracy; but his book also reveals his changed attitudes about the nature of personality and the conventions of biography.
