The Blackwell Dictionary of Historians provides an authoritative and readable source book for students and specialists. It includes entries on over 450 historians, dating from Herodotus to the present. Individuals have not necessarily been chosen on account of the importance of their own research but rather for their interest in, and influence on, the theory and practice of history and the role of the historian. In particular the Dictionary includes details of historians most frequently encountered by students following courses on historiography.
Over 200 specialists have contributed to the Dictionary which is organized alphabetically, and includes a comprehensive index.
John Cannon and William Doyle are the authors of The Blackwell Dictionary of Historians, published by Wiley.
