Summary
Details

Dictionaries

of national biography are a long-established and significant genre of

biographical and historical writing, existing in many forms across the globe.

This book brings together practitioners from around the English‑speaking

world to reflect on national biographical dictionary projects’ recent

cultural journeys, and the challenges presented to them by such developments

as the transition to a digital environment, a new alertness to the need to

represent diversity, and the rise of transnationalism. Exploring their paths

forward, the chapters of this book collectively make a powerful argument for

the continued value and importance of large‑scale collaborative biographical

dictionary research.
