Sutherland provides short (3 - 4 page) biographic sketches and critical assessments of 294 authors from the 17th century onwards across all literary genres. He is able, in these short pieces, to provide telling and insightful details about the authors and their works. My list would be different, but his selection is part of the pleasure of this book. It would be a good addition to anyone's reference shelf.
