Between history and literature The dominant philosophy of history entering the 21st century emphasizes pluralism and deconstruction. More than ever, there is a great need for places to collect together all the parties 'versions of events. Biographical Literature, which has produced 454 issues since beginning publication in June of 1962, has gathered together hundreds of millions of characters of "one-sided testimony" to "piece together the full face of history."
廿一世紀的史觀強調多元解構，因而更需要有集合各家說法的「片面之辭」做為材料，從民國五十一年六月發刊至今已發行四百五十四期、總字數以億計的「傳記文學」就是「集片面之辭，以拼湊歷史全貌」的一本刊物。
