The author has drawn on contemporary research in preparing these biographical essays which convey more than the bare facts of his subjects' lives: he places them in the context of their time and evokes what was distinctive and interesting in their personality and achievement. The biographies are arranged in a broadly chronological rather than alphabetical sequence so that the reader may easily browse from one contemporary to the next. The index, with its many cross-references, reveals further linkages between contemporaries. Each volume is a portrait of an age, presenting history in a biographical form which complements the conventional approach.* This is a NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./1st. thus with only minor faults.* See also Who?s Who in Stuart and also Victorian Britain.
