A Manifesto" is a demand for recognition of the art of Biography as one of the major forms of literary creation. The manifesto insists on recognition of the creative energy and skill as well as literary art involved in writing a biography worthy of the name. It urges poets and novelists to attempt the form and invites criticism, hitherto negligent, to grasp the difference between compendia biographies and the finished "life." The manifesto further urges that critics acquire precise standards for appraising biographies written as works of art
