Building upon this research, this groundbreaking book is the first to systematically address gender issues while being mindful of cultural and historical disparities in both the source material and the fictional reworkings. It employs a critical lens to examine biographical fiction as \"fictions of gender,\" drawing from theories of biofiction, historical fiction, life-writing studies, feminist criticism, queer feminist readings, postcolonial studies, feminist art history, and trans studies. The volume critically assesses the potential of biographical fiction for critical analysis, revision, and deconstruction, while also acknowledging the influence of clichés, gender norms, and established narratives in many of the texts under investigation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe introduction to this book is freely accessible under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License through the following link: link.springer.com.
