The cover of "Virginia Woolf's Nose" by Hermione Lee, Princeton University Press, 2005, with photographs of the faces of Woolf, Jane Austen and Percy Bysshe Shelley.
From Chapter 4 ("How to End It All") of this marvellous book about literary biography:
"It matters to us, as Chekhov's readers, whether his last words really were (as we would like them to be), 'It's a long time since I drank champagne.' "

Hermoine Lee: "Virginia Woolf"
Possibly one of the best ever biographies? Lee knows her subject deeply. I've read this 5–6 times and find the rendering of Woolf's life almost as rich as her fiction

#HermioneLee suggests that in biography one must try and get as close to the historical truth as possible, rather than the 'right narrative'. However, as fictional life-writers, she asks, how can we 'make up'?

To kick off our Laura Marcus Life-Writing workshop, Dame #HermioneLee asks us to consider why an archive is in a certain place. The lives of our subjects are often tied up with a certain place, and the location of the archive can tell us much about them.
