About the Book

Who's Who in British History is a major reference work which presents 1900 years of British history through biography. The two volumes contain over 1500 biographies of the men and women who shaped and colored British history from the beginning of the Roman period to the end of Queen Victoria's reign. Each entry contains more than the bare facts of the person's life: what was distinctive and interesting in their personality and achievement is evoked in a short essay. Entries are organized alphabetically, and most essays conclude with a selective guide to Further Reading. There is also a General Bibliography which, for ease of reference, is divided by time-span, and a Glossary that defines unfamiliar terms, key words and expressions. Readers can place people in their historical context by consulting the Chronology of Events, and Maps and Genealogical Tables of the royal dynasties are also provided.

Review :
"Readers...will be instructed, stimulated and entertained." -- Times Literary Supplement "Although information on better-known figures is readily available, Who's Who in British History covers Britain in more depth than general resources. It provides accessible information across an entire 2,000-plus-year time span, and does so in an easy-to-use format. The cast amount of accurate, unbiased information contained here, combined with a pleasant prose style, makes this resource worthy of purchase wherever British history is studied." -- Booklist/RBB "The writing is interesting and lively, designed to spark students' interest in history and biography." -- Choice "Although the scope of the book makes it impossible to include the truly obscure, the book's coverage is impressive, and the articles themselves are informative and well written. The authors have taken recent historiographical developments into consideration, and, although never tendentious, they do not shy away from offering judgment... Students, casual readers, and scholars in need of historical detail will find all these volumes to be extremely valuable." -- American Reference Books Annual
