The publication of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography in
September 2004 was an event of great literary and scholarly
importance. In his Leslie Stephen Lecture, commemorating the
founder of the original Dictionary of National Biography, the
celebrated historian Keith Thomas surveys the many earlier attempts
at collective biography, considers the relationship of the Oxford
DNB to them, and offers a preliminary assessment of the Oxford DNB
itself. The author, who has been chairman of the Supervisory
Committee of the Oxford DNB since its inception, writes with
intimate knowledge of the project. This Leslie Stephen Lecture
complements the earlier Lecture on the DNB by the late Colin
Matthew, Founder-Editor of the Oxford DNB, and published by
Cambridge in 1997.
