Summary:

The dictionary contains over 700 entries, covering not only major classical scholars, but also minor and neglected figures (such as schoolteachers and publishers) who helped sustain British Classics. The individuals included have mostly been born, educated and made their careers in the British Isles. However, others are included who were born and educated elsewhere but whose careers were pursued in Britain. The term classicist applies to individuals who contributed in any way to the study of Graeco-Roman culture, or to its organization and propagation.
