Title: | Imagining Mary Dean: Representing Another's Life in Text | Contributor(s): | Brien, Donna Lee (author) | Publication Date: | 2004 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/1433 | Abstract: | Leon Edel expressed the central puzzle of writing biography as "every life takes its own form and a biographer must find the ideal and unique literary form that will express it" (qtd. in Novarr 165). My primary challenge in writing Poisoned: The Trials of Mary Dean – a biography in the form of a (fictionalised) first-person memoir purportedly written by the subject herself – was the location of a textual voice for Mary that, if not her own, could have credibly belonged to a woman of her time, place and circumstance. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | M/C Journal, v.7 (1) | Publisher: | Queensland University of Technology, Creative Industries Faculty | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1441-2616 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200599 Literary Studies not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://journal.media-culture.org.au/0401/07-brien.php |
