"This is an extremely well done reference work that should be found on the shelves of any major historical library...It should last for many decades as a prime source of all historical inquiries." -- ContemporaryReview"Easy to use, whether you want to learn about an individual historian or the historiography of a country." -- College and Research Libraries"Not only or maily historians, of course, will use the Encyclopedia of Historians and Historical Writing. It is admirable adapted for scholars and students in other disciplines, or simply readers with an interest in history, who want to get a quick idea of the work of a particular individual or the state of scholarship in a particular field." -- Times Literary Supplement"A worthy addition to the reference collections of large public and academic libraries." -- Booklist/RBB"Careful organization, comprehensiveness, substantial length of entries, and richness of bibliographies set this work above its rivals. Highly recommended for all academic and larger public libraries." -- Choice
