Who said, “Biographies of writers whether written by others or themselves are always superfluous and usually in bad taste”?
- A Charles Dickens
- B F. Scott Fitzgerald
- C Samuel Johnson
- D W.H. Auden
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
W.H. Auden, a renowned poet and critic, expressed a critical view of biographies of writers. He stated, “Biographies of writers whether written by others or themselves are always superfluous and usually in bad taste.” His statement reflects a belief that the focus should be on the works themselves rather than the personal lives of the authors.
