Author entries profile Margaret Atwood, Thomas Mann, Guy de Maupassant, Mishima Yukio, Octavio Paz, Wolo Soyinka, Rabindranath Tagore, and Leo Tolstoy, to name a few. Each entry contains a brief biography, critical analysis, a short (in some cases single item) list of major works in chronological order, and a bibliography of works about the author. These bibliographies are brief in order to encourage students to delve further into a particular author's work while not overwhelming them. Other features include an author time line that is simply a list of dates and authors included in this work, a list of the writers by geographical area, a selected bibliography of further readings not included at the end of each entry, and an extensive index.
There is considerable overlap with numerous other reference tools. Large literature series, such as the Wilson Authors Series and various publications from Gale and Salem Press, also cover world authors. Encyclopedia of World Writers: 19th and 20th Centuries is a worthwhile purchase for public, high-school, and undergraduate libraries seeking a compact, convenient introduction. RBB
