摘要：Renaissance has been known since Burckhardt as the age of the "development of the individual" and of the rise of biography. But our sense of strangeness when reading Renaissance biographies indicates that these are not biographies in our sense of the term. After a brief survey of the rise of biography in Renaissance Europe, this essay will discuss the contemporary conventions of the genre and their relation to the wider culture, concluding with an analysis of a few texts in relative detail.
