梁启超的传记作品及其理论典型地代表了中国古代传记向现代传记的过渡与衔接的轨迹和方向。他的涵盖了中外新旧传记的各类文体的作品 ,尤其是一批具有鲜明时代精神和个性文化特点的优秀代表作 ,达到了同时代的最高史学成就 ,由此为中国现代传记的确立提供了范式 ;而他的传记理论融合中外 ,以其学理上的正确性和知识形态上的系统性 ,有助于传记理论作为中国现代史学理论体系中一个具有相对独立性的分支学科的确立。

Liang Qichao's biographical works and his theory on them typically represent the trace and direction of the transition of Chinese biography from the ancient to the modern and the bridge between the two.His various genres which cover biographies old and new,home and abroad,particularly his outstanding representative works with striking Zeitgeist and individualistic cultural characteristics,have reached the apogee of historical achievements of his day,thereby set a pattern for the establishment of modern Chinese biography.His theory on biography,on the other hand,an integration of Chinese and foreign,with its correctness of scientific principle and systematism of intellectual pattern,contributes to the establishment of theory on biography as a comparatively independent branch within the theoretical framework of modern Chinese historiography.
