Grade 9 Up--Each volume in this set contains short essays about important writers of the 19th or the 20th century from William Blake to Zadie Smith. More than 800 poets, novelists, playwrights, essayists, and other writers from Great Britain as well as the former British Empire are represented. Articles vary in length from a few hundred words to several pages and includes birth and death dates, genre, and information on the subject's childhood, education, occupations, private life, influences, work, and prizes or honors. For major writers there are critical analyses, quotes, or excerpts from important works. Each volume in Encyclopedia contains an "Authors' Timeline," a "Selected Bibliography," and an extensive index. Compared to the entries in the "British Writers Series" (Scribner's), these articles are shorter and less informative, but students will find them useful for fast facts and as a starting point for research.
