American National Biography

the ANB's biographies of 'great men' have not lost much by being leaner, and this has allowed for many more biographies of lesser figures. The decision of the ANB's editors to shorten the longer entries and lengthen the shorter ones was eminently wise./ Gordon S. Wood, Professor of History at Brown University, TLS, 30/04/99.
