THE DICTIONARY OF NATIONAL BIOGRAPHY

Just over one hundred years ago, the last volume of a tremendous work of reference entitled The
Dictionary of National Biography rolled off the printing presses. (1)...................(ADMIT), this
21-volume shelf-filler may not immediately sound like the most thrilling read in the world. As
entertainment, you might imagine it ranks some way below a (2)...................(POLITICS)
autobiography. But you would be very, very wrong.

The DNB, like the Oxford English Dictionary, is one of the great monuments to British culture
and also a hugely enjoyable work in its own right. It is, quite simply, an (3)...................

(ALPHABET) dictionary of potted biographies of all the notable men and women who had lived
in Britain since the year dot. It was produced between 1885 and 1900, and it remains
(4)...................(EMPHASIS) an achievement of the Victorian period, richly redolent of 19th
century confidence and (5)...................(CAPABLE), energy and optimism. It is also a monument
to the enormous variety of the British national character, and the dictionary is immeasurably

also hundreds of wonderfully (7)...................(COLOUR) characters, who you can discover only
by leafing idly through a volume of the DNB on a wet afternoon down at your local library.

The way in which the DNB was produced was very British too: on a shoestring, out of sheer
dedication, and with no state (8 ) ...................(INTERFERE) whatsoever. It was the private
endeavour of a group of (9)...................(ENTHUSE), scholars and freelance journalists, as

oppressive auspices of the imperial Academy of Vienna.
