Makers of Western Culture, 1800-1914: 
A Biographical Dictionary of Literary Influences 
 
Edited by John Powell and Derek Blakeley 
Contracted for publication by Greenwood Press in 1999. 
 
Signed articles will run between 500 and 850 words and will be needed by 
June 1998. The first round of assignments will be made in July 1997. 
 
It is clear that the influence of "great" ideas and canonical writers on 
the shaping of Western culture was less direct and more particular than 
traditionally imagined. 
 
Makers of Western Culture is intended to be a practical tool to assist 
scholars in tracing the literary/cultural influences of several hundred 
of the most significant figures responsible for the general cultural 
development of Europe, Great Britain, and the United States between 1800 
and 1914. 
 
The proposed list includes such figures of interest to historians of 
economics as Bagehot, Bright, Cobden, Engels, Malthus, James Mill, John 
Stuart Mill, Marx, Owen, and Ricardo.
