Starred review from September 15, 2018
While there are numerous excellent guides to world authors, few are as vibrant and enthusiastic as this volume. Here are 110 writers, arranged chronologically, from pre-19th century to the present, with an additional dozen profiled more briefly in each section's directory. Well-known names such as Dante, William Shakespeare, John Milton, Mark Twain, and Emily Dickinson are joined by those less widely acclaimed: Aphra Behn, Natsume Soseki, Lu Xun, and Orhan Pamuk. Each well-crafted essay is embellished with a full-color portrait; boxed notes highlighting the writer's form, style, and historical or political context; photographs and illustrations; a time line of major works; and several key quotes. VERDICT This treasure of a book is an enchanting addition to most public library collections.--Marcia G. Welsh, Dartmouth Coll. Lib., Hanover, NH
