Etymology

The word 'biographer' originates from the Greek word 'bios,' meaning 'life,' and 'graphia,' meaning 'writing.' It entered the English language in the early 19th century as the practice of biography became more prominent. The role of a biographer has evolved over time, reflecting changing social values and interests in personal narratives. Traditionally, biographers focused on prominent public figures, but contemporary biographers often explore the lives of ordinary individuals, shedding light on diverse human experiences. The field has grown with the emergence of new writing styles and forms of storytelling.
