IN SLIPCASE, Colour Library Direct, 1997, hardcover, illustrated, index, 400 pages, 24.3 cms x 30.2 cms x 4.5 cms, condition: as new.

Informative illustrated biographies and critiques of 289 of the world's greatest authors from Aeschylus to Yeats and Betjeman to Zola. Each page-length entry provides an informed author profile and critique of their writing, accompanied by quotes, a selected bibliography of recommended works and a portrait or photograph of the author...

Written by award winner Tom Payne, this definitive illustrated encyclopedia features 289 writers in every genre from every age. There is a biography of each writer, a list of their greatest works, and more. Each entry in The A-Z of Great Writers has been an attempt to answer the question. "Why should I read this author?" The hooks format aims to plead the writers' cases as appealingly as possible, by providing a list of their major works, a telling quotation whether it be by or about them, a brief survey of their careers and importance, and finally an illustration. The ensemble should make even the briefest flip through the book reveal the range of writers and work represented. The penultimate literary resource.
