Lives of the Most Eminent Literary and Scientific Men [SEP] Introduction
The Lives of the Most Eminent Literary and Scientific Men comprised ten volumes of Dionysius Lardner's 133-volume "Cabinet Cyclopaedia" (1829–46). Aimed at the self-educating middle class, this encyclopedia was written during the 19th-century literary revolution in Britain that encouraged more people to read. The "Lives" formed part of the "Cabinet of Biography" in the "Cabinet Cyclopaedia". Within the set of ten, the three-volume "Lives of the Most Eminent Literary and Scientific Men of Italy, Spain and Portugal" (1835–37) and the two-volume "Lives of the Most Eminent Literary and Scientific Men of France" (1838–39) consist of biographies of important writers and thinkers of the 14th to 18th centuries.
