How do we know what Lady Mary Wroth was really like? How can we know? 1 What Judith Anderson says of early modern life writing is true of our own effort as well, that it “occupies a middle ground between history and art, chronicle and drama, objective truth and creative invention.” 2 Life writing is by definition a narrative, and as such it partakes of literary conventions. Both biographies and autobiographies may be shaped, consciously or unconsciously, to fit the genre of romance, for example, or a conversion narrative, or martyrology. 3 Lives can be shaped to make the subject a victim or a hero, and whether the arc of the biography is comic or tragic often depends on where it concludes, whether at a point of triumph or at the point of death, for in that sense the end of all lives is the same.
