'True Biographies of Nations?'
Monday 29 April 2019

Check out the NCB’s latest publication, ‘True Biographies of Nation?’: The Cultural Journeys of Dictionaries of National Biography edited by Karen Fox. The book brings together practitioners from around the English‑speaking world to reflect on national biographical dictionary projects’ recent cultural journeys, and the challenges presented to them by such developments as the transition to a digital environment, a new alertness to the need to represent diversity, and the rise of transnationalism.
