More than 500 writers, teachers, philosophers both amateur and professional, as well as thinkers in other disciplines who influenced the way we think, are included here. The very term ‘British’ is problematic, so the editors take an inclusive approach to avoid errors of omission. Those who have been British subjects at least part of their lives, or who spent much of their life in the UK, and those who were educated in Britain but then lived elsewhere are all included. Thoemmes Continuum publishes a range of biographical dictionaries that are renowned in the history of ideas community, valued by libraries, and acclaimed by critics. Thoemmes dictionaries are particularly noted for their coverage of those whose work is significant, but less well known. The inclusion of information on these minor figures makes these dictionaries particularly valuable to scholars researching the field.
