Abstract

The present essay offers a series of personal reflections on the merits of biography as a historical genre. Starting from the author’s own experience and what he learnt from writing the biographies of José María Tornel y Mendívil (1795-1853) and Antonio López de Santa Anna (1794-1876), the different views of the past the windows of biography open up to us are explored here, underlining how a form of “total history” may be attained through the practice of biography.
