Definice a Význam "hagiographer"

Who is a "hagiographer"?

A hagiographer is a biographer who writes about someone in a highly idealized or exaggerated manner, often presenting them in an overly favorable light. This type of biographer focuses on glorifying the subject, highlighting their virtues and achievements while downplaying or omitting any flaws or negative aspects. Hagiographers typically aim to create a saintly or heroic image of their subject, rather than providing a balanced or objective portrayal.
