Barrie (1860?1937); Arnold Bennett (1867-1931); Robert Bridges (1844-1930); Samuel Butler (1835-1902); Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965); Joseph Conrad (1857-1924); Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930); John Galsworthy (1867-1933); Thomas Hardy (1840-1928); Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889); A.E.

Besides being inherently interesting, biographies of writers provide a basic understanding of the various ways writers react in their works to the circumstances of their lives, the events of their times, and the cultures that envelop them. Concise DBLB entries start with the most important facts about writers: what they wrote. We strongly recommend that you also start there. The chronological listing of an author's works is an outline for the examination of his or her career achievements. The biography that follows sets the stage for the presentation of the works. Each of the author's important works and the most respected critical evaluations of them are discussed in Concise DBLB. If you require more information about the author or fuller critical studies of the author's works, the references section at the end of the entry will guide you. Illustrations are an integral element of Concise DBLB entries. Photographs of the author are reminders that literature is the product of a writer's imagination; facsimiles of the author's working drafts are the best evidence available for understanding the act of composition - the author in the process of refining his or her work and acting as self-editor; dust jackets and advertisements demonstrate how literature comes to us through the marketplace, which sometimes serves to alter our perceptions of the works. Literary study is a complex and immensely rewarding endeavor. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to make the experience as rich as possible". ["A Note to Students"].
