Synopsis
John William Cousin's A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature is a reference guide to the important writers in English history.
From "Abbot, Jacob" to "Zangwill, Israel", Cousin's book features more than 1,600 entries on English writers, which the authors deems to include both Americans and other individuals living in British colonial territories. The entries vary in length, with more space devoted to writers of greater significance. Entries typically included a brief biographical sketch as well as a detailed account of the author's works of importance. Cousin's focus here is on writers of literature, and thus the book is primarily composed of novelists.
A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature is an interesting text for true enthusiasts of English literature. Cousin's work serves as a worthy collection of biographical sketches of English language novelists, including many whose biographies cannot be found even elsewhere on the internet.
