Question

What is the relationship between biography and history?

Answer 1

They both involve the study of past events,

Explanation:

History involves the STUDY of past events, people in the past as well as a continuous, typically chronological, record of important or public events or of a particular trend or institution.
Whereas Biographies are typically books written to account for someone's life, usually someone of importance, with great contributions to the world or people who lead an extraordinary life, such as Steve Jobs and Malala Yousafzai.

Both history and biography involves elements of the past, and are subjective. Biographies aid in the understanding of history, and history will also aid in the understanding of biographies by providing context. I would say that both are similar and co-related and of literary genre.

Hope this helps! :D
