Description

Frederic Boase’s Modern English Biography is an indispensable reference work containing concise biographies of thousands of notable British figures who died between 1850 and 1900. This second volume covers surnames from Ibbetson to Q—a vast array of politicians, soldiers, artists, scientists, writers, clergy, and adventurers who shaped the Victorian and Edwardian world.

Each entry includes dates of birth and death, education, career highlights, publications, and source references, making this an invaluable resource for historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in 19th-century British history.

Originally published in 1897, this work remains one of the most comprehensive biographical dictionaries of its era, complementing the Dictionary of National Biography with details of many figures not found elsewhere.

  1. HistoryBuff42 –

    an absolute treasure trove of Victorian biography. Boase includes so many figures that the DNB left out. I use this constantly for research. entry quality is excelent with precise dates and source refs

  2. Dr. Alan P. –

    indispensible for anyone researching 19th century British figures. the entries are dense but packed with information. wish the other volumes were available too. a must have for serious history buffs

  3. Genevieve R. –

    what a amazing resource. spent hours just browsing through the entries. the detail on obscure figures is incredible. Boase did a monumental amount of research. worth every penny

  4. Michael C. –

    solid reference work. the entries are concise and well sourced. format is a bit dense but thats expected for a biographical dictionary. great for genealogical research

  5. Sarah W. –

    important reference book but not exactly casual reading. the entries are quite brief and the format is repetitive. still a valuable resource for researchers and historians
