Collins Biographical Dictionary of English Literature

There is a growing need for a biographically-orientated reference book which fully represents not only literature written in English, but also literature written in other languages and translated into English, and which takes into account authors' contributions to the development of their own national literature. From the classics of Greece and Rome to the present day, this book provides insights into the lives and careers of 1576 authors and has geographical and cultural coverage.
