The 100 Most Influential Writers of All Time

The intended audience is grades 9-12. The titles in the Britannica Guide to the World’s Most Influential People series are arranged chronologically.

Articles, a mix of new content and content drawn from Britannica’s repository, generally range from two to five pages and are headed with date and place of birth and, where applicable, death. There are no article-specific bibliographies or references. Each volume concludes with a glossary, a brief further-reading list, and an index.

Although not visually enticing, these volumes offer trustworthy information in convenient packages and would be useful in high-school and public libraries.
