1Writing biographies (life stories) for a long time had been a male hegemonic project — writing the lives of great (white) men. Ever since Plutarch and Sueton composed their vitae of the greats of classical antiquity, to the medieval obsession with the hagiographies of holy men (and a few women) and saints, Vasari’s lives of great Renaissance artists, down to the French encyclopedists, Dr. Johnson and Lytton Strachey, as well as Ranke and Droysen the genre of biographical writing (“the representation of self” or “the reconstruction of a human life”) has become increasingly more refined. In the twentieth century male predominance has become contested and the (collective) lives of women, minorities and ordinary people are now the focus of biographical writing. The writing of lives (or lives and their times) are always situated between fact and fiction, ascertainable data and the imagination of the biographer. Leon Edel, the great American biographer of Henry James and theorist o

1 See the splendid Handbuch Biographie: Methoden, Traditionen, Theorien, ed. Christian Klein (Suttgart: J. B. Metzler, 2009) (citations 1-6, 326).

2 Simon Sebag Montefiori, Jerusalem: The Biography (New York: Knopf, 2011); Hank Heifetz and Enrique Krauze, Mexico: Biography of a Power (New York: Harper, 1998).

3 Ernst Hanisch, Der große Illusionist: Otto Bauer (1881-1938) (Vienna: Böhlau, 2011); Klemens von Klemperer, Ignaz Seipel: Christian Statesman in a Time of Crisis (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1972).

4 Radomir Luža wanted to write a life of Schuschnigg; however, Schuschnigg and his family did not grant him access to his personal papers.

5 The contemporary biographies of Leopold Figl and Karl Renner written by journalists Ernst Trost and Jacques Hannak are dated and not based on the rich archival records. Anton Pelinka’s Karl Renner zur Einfűhrung (Junius Verlag, 1998) is sketchy and not based on the archival record either.

6 Karl Stadler, Adolf Schärf: Mensch, Politiker Staatsmann (Vienna: Europaverlag, 1982); Elisabeth Röhrlich, Kreisky’s Außenpolitik: Zwischen österreichischer Identität und internationalem Programm (Göttingen: Vienna University Press, 2009); Anton Pelinka, Hubert Sickinger and Karin Stögner, Kreisky – Haider: Bruchlinien österreichischer Identität (Vienna: Brauműller, 2088) is concentrating on identity politics and not biography based on archival findings; we do have a scholarly biography of the enfante terrible of postwar Austrian politics Jörg Haider, see Lothar Höbelt, Defiant Populist: Jörg Haider and the Politics of Austria (West Lafayette, IN: Purdue University Press, 2003).

7 Lukas Werner “Deutschsprachige Biographik,” in Handbuch Biographie, 265-77.

8 Michael Jonas, “Britische Biographik,” and Levke Harders, “US-amerikanische Biographik,” in ibid., 289-97, 321-30. Fittingly, there is no chapter in this handbook of biography’s “regional developments” on Austria.

9 Based on his life-long deep immersion in the party politics of the late Habsburg Empire, John Boyer himself has given us a model biographic study of Karl Lueger, the iconic mayor of Vienna, see Karl Lueger (1844-1910): Christlichsoziale Politik als Beruf. Eine Biographie (Vienna: Böhlau, 2010).

10 Hanisch, Der große Illusionist.

11 See also their full-fledged biography Martin Eichtinger and Helmut Wohnout, Alois Mock: Ein Politiker schreibt Geschichte (Graz: Styria, 2008).
