Synopsis

'...The Dictionary becomes more valuable as it progresses ... The work remains a monument to scholarship and the British people ...' New Society '...The whole work remains quite indispensable, and excellent reading - in public and academic libraries.' E.J.Hobsbawn The Dictionary of Labour Biography is a many-volumed project, with each volume organised on a self-contained basis. The time-span of the Dictionary covers the period of modern industrialism, from the late eighteenth century to the present. Living people are excluded. It is intended to include anyone who was active, at any level, in the organisations and institutions of the British labour movement, as well as those who influenced the development of radical and socialist ideas. Entries are on the same pattern as those for the Dictionary of National Biography, but with many more bibliographical sources provided.

Review

Review of Volume VII

'The Dictionary is now well established as a central source for details of careers and bibliographical information...The composite index at the end of each volume means that this series can be continued indefinitely, and anyone working in nineteenth- and twentieth-century British history must hope that it will be.' - Dr H.C.G. Matthew, English Historical Review
