The philosophers profiled in DLB Volume 115 were involved in education, public life and ecclesiastical administration, and thus represent the various schools of thought that existed throughout this vast period.

The transition between early and late Victorian poetry has been determined, in this volume, to be 1850. A case can be made for this choice as the year saw, among other significant events, the death of the romantic poet laureate, Wordsworth, and the publication of his Prelude; the appointment of Tennyson as the Victorian poet laureate and the publication of his In Memoriam. It was unquestionably a time of change, but the innovations in form, departures in theme and originality of subject matter expressed by Victorian poetry after 1850 marked not so much a break from its antecedents as an extension of the form, quality and imagination that the preceding generation of Victorian poets initiated. This volume contains two appendices that deal with topics related to poetry of the late Victorian era. 41 entries include: William Allingham, Alfred Austin, T. E. Brown, Robert Buchanan, C. S. Calverley, Edward Dowden, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Jean Ingelow, George Meredith, John Payne, DanteGabriel Rossetti, James Thomson, Augusta Webster and Thomas Woolner.

American writers of history who flourished in the more than two and a half centuries between the earliest colonial settlements and the end of the Civil War cover ...a vast and irregular territory, according to volume editor Clyde N. Wilson. The 46 writers in this DLB volume include the chroniclers and polemicists of the colonial, revolutionary, and early national eras; the literary, narrative historians of the 19th century; as well as biographers, collectors, editors, state and local chroniclers and popular and specialized historians who wrote during this period. Together they display the multitude of ways in which early generations of Americans sought to discover, record, disperse, commemorate, illustrate, understand and interpret the past. 46 entries include: George Bancroft, William Bradford, John W. Draper, Elizabeth F. Ellet, Richard Hildreth, Thomas Hutchinson, Washington Irving, John Lothrop Motley, Francis Parkman, William Hickling Prescott, John Smith, Jared Sparks, George Tucker, Mason Locke Weems and John Winthrop.

History is both a branch of literature and a scholarly discipline; and American historical writing has produced a number of memorable works as well as a sizeable body of literature. The historians selected for this volume include academic, professional, and popular historians, along with several journalists, a political publicist, a poet and a railroad executive. They represent most of the various schools of American historical study that have emerged during the 20th century, including the New Englanders of Federalist and patrician heritage who dominated the early part of the century; the frontier-oriented progressives of the Middle West; the liberal writers whose themes were prevalent after World War I, and the conservative writers who provided a strong, subtle counterpoint. 59 entries include: James Truslow Adams, Charles A. Beard, Samuel Flagg Bemis, Albert J. Beveridge, Bruce Catton, Henry Steele Commager, William E. Dodd, Shelby Foote, Douglas Southall Freeman, Richard Hofstadter, Samuel Eliot Morison, Allan Nevins, Carl Sandburg, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., Frederick Jackson Turner and C. Vann Woodward.

The poets profiled in this volume were all born in 1779 or later and wrote most of their important poems between 1800 and 1840. Disillusioned with the failure of the French Revolution and the repressive political atmosphere in England, many poets, including Byron and Shelley, found England to be too confining and left for Italy. The dominant theme that emerges, is the liberation of the human spirit. In addition to addressing the uncertainties of political change--even upheaval--the second generation of British Romantic writers was also conscious of a debt to the preceding generation. They were not, however, content to imitate earlier poets; they felt the need to define themselves as personally, morally, politically or artistically superior to them. 22 entries include: George Gordon, Lord Byron, John Clare, Hartley Coleridge, George Darley, Ebenezer Elliott, Thomas Hood, Leigh Hunt, John Keats, John Herman, Merivale, Thomas Moore, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Henry Kirke White.

The writers discussed in this volume, like those in DLB 132: Sixteenth-Century British Nondramatic Writers, First Series, are conveniently labeled Renaissance authors, but they were far more than literary discoverers and revivers, or adapters and imitators, of reborn classical texts. Their works are often strikingly new, even revolutionary. Collectively, their literary biographies document innovation on a scale perhaps unequaled in the history of the English language and in a diversity that almost defies classification. 53 entries include: Anne Askew, Thomas Becon, Nicholas Breton, Robert Devereux, Elizabeth I, Thomas Elyo, Desiderius Erasmus, George Gascoigne, Elizabeth Grymeston, Sir John Harington, John Heywood, Sir Thomas Moore, Catherine Parr, John Skelton, George Whetstone, Isabella Whitney.

Cobb, Floyd Gibbons, William Randolph Hearst, Ben Hecht, Ring Lardner, Charles MacArthur, W.O. McGeehan, Frank A. Munsey, E.W. Scripps, Melville Stone and Henry Watterson.

The 18 playwrights included in this volume, born between 1621 and 1666, coped with situations no dramatists before or since have faced. During this period, theaters were seen as places of corruption and were officially closed in 1642. When they began to reopen in 1660, there were few trained performers and no established audiences. Nevertheless, the dramatists of this tumultuous time produced some of the best-and strangest-plays in English literature. 18 entries include: John Bank, George Etherege, Nathaniel Lee, Mary Pix, Thomas Southerne, Sir John Vanbrugh, William Wycherley.
