Virginia Woolf published three books which she gave the subtitle A BiographyOrlando: A Biography (1928, usually characterised Novel, inspired by the life of Vita Sackville-West)Flush: A Biography (1933, more explicitly cross-genre: fiction as stream of consciousness tale by Flush, a dog; non-fiction in the sense of telling the story of the owner of the dog, Elizabeth Barrett Browning)Roger Fry: A Biography (1940, usually characterised non-fiction, however: [Woolfs] novelistic skills worked against her talent as a biographer, for her impressionistic observations jostled uncomfortably with the simultaneous need to marshall a multitude of facts.)
