"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
