Daniel Snowman is Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, UK. Educated at Cambridge and Cornell, he was a Lecturer at Sussex University and went on to work for the BBC as Chief Producer, Features (Radio). His books have tended to cross conventional historiographical boundaries, from Kissing Cousins (1977), a comparative study of British and American social attitudes and values, to The Hitler Emigres (2002), which examined the cultural impact of refugees from Nazism. The Gilded Stage: A Social History of Opera (2009) was a pioneering attempt to place the history of opera in its widest historical perspective.
'... [T]he great strength of this collection... is its variety... Snowman's snapshots of outstanding historians are always entertaining.' - Jewish Chronicle'a curious element in the book is the occasional 'reply' by the subject of the pen portrait. These make fascinating reading, subtly correcting an undue emphasis in Snowman's account of their life while straining not to be immodest... It is in the replies that the best bits are found.' - Archives: The journal of the British Records Association
