DESCRIPTION:I juxtapose two influential biographies: William Godwin's memo
 ir of his wife\, Mary Wollstonecraft (1798) and James Edward Austen Leigh'
 s sketch of his aunt Jane Austen (1869). I consider what these male author
 s chose to stress and omit and how  they interacted with the gendered aspe
 cts of their subjects. Both intended to manipulate the reputations of thei
 r famous relatives\; both saw themselves as executors of the image.
