Of course, it will be answered, public and academic libraries want the new volume. After all, it adds 1,068 lives of people who escaped the net of the original compilers. Yet in 10 years’ time a revised version of the whole caboodle, called the New Dictionary of National Biography, will be published. Its editor, Professor Colin Matthew, tells me that he will have room for about 50,000 lives, some 13,000 more than in the current DNB. This rather puts the 1,068 in Missing Persons in the shade.

S. head of state. An affair has outraged American libertarians even as it has animated a general debate about morality East and West and the proper functioning of U.S. law and order. Which, to all appearances, is what Singapore wanted. The question of whether anyone should care about Michael Fay is idle. though Singapore officials profess shock at the attention his case had drawn, they know Americans care deeply about the many sides of this issue. Doe A. His case captured worldwide attention. B. He received severe punishment. C. His experience was out of the ordinary. D. He was likely to be disabled. 查看答案 [单项选择]WHY SHOULD anyone buy the latest volume in the ever-expanding Dictionary of National Biography I do not mean that it is bad, as the reviewers will agree.

Of course, it will be answered, public and academic libraries will want the new volume. After all, it adds 1,068 lives of people who escaped the net of the original compilers. Yet in 10 year"s time a revised version of the whole caboodle, called the New Dictionary of National Biography, will be published. Its editor, Professor Colin Matthew, tells me that he will have room for about 50,000 lives, some 13,000 more than in the current DNB. This rather puts the 1,068 in Missing Persons in the shade. When Dr. Nicholls wrote to The Spectator in 1989 asking for name of people whom readers had looked up in the DNB and had been disappointed not to find, she says that she received some 100,000 suggestions.(Well, she had written to her quality newspapers" too.)As soon as her committee had whittled the numbers down, the professional problems of an editor began. Contributors didn"t file copy on time; some who did sent too much: 50,000 words instead of 500 is a record, according to Dr. Nicholls. There remains the dinner-party game of who"s in, who"s out. That is a game that the reviewers have played and will continue to play. Criminals were my initial worry. After all, the original edition of the DNB boasted: Malefactors whose crimes excite a permanent interest have received hardly less attention than benefactors. Mr. John Gross clearly had similar anxieties, for he complains that, while the murderer Christie is in, Crippen is out. One might say in reply that the injustice of the hanging of Evans instead of Christie was a force in the repeal of capital punishment in Britain, as Ludovie Kennedy(the author of Christies entry in Missing Persons)notes. But then Crippen was reputed as the first murderer to be caught by telegraphy(he had tried to escape by ship to America). It is surprising to find Max Miller excluded when really not very memorable names get in. There has been a conscious effort to put in artists and architects from the Middle Ages. About their lives not much is always known. Of Hugo of Bury St Edmunds, a 12th-century illuminator whose dates of birth and death are not recorded, his biographer comments: "Whether or not Hugo was a wall-painter, the records of his activities as carver and manuscript painter attest to his versatility". Then there had to be more women, too(12 percent, against the original DBN"s 3), such as Roy Strong"s subject, the Tudor painter Levina Teerlinc, of whom he remarks: "Her most characteristic feature is a head attached to a too small, spindly body. Her technique remained awkward, thin and often cursory". Doesn"t seem to qualify her as a memorable artist. Yet it may be better than the record of the original DNB, which included lives of people who never existed(such as Merlin)and even managed to give thanks to J. W. Clerke as a contributor, though, as a later edition admits in a shamefaced footnote, "except for the entry in the List of Contributors there is no trace of J. W. Clerke".The writer suggests that there is no sense in buying the latest volume______. A. because it is not worth the price B. because it has fewer entries than before C. unless one has all the volumes in the collection D. unless an expanded DNB will come out shortly 查看答案 我来回答: 提交 最新试题 ●    [判断题]遇有等级战备、重大灾害事故救援、重大活动消防安保等任务结束后,基层单位在确保执勤力量的前提 ●    [简答题]自动重合闸的启动方式有哪几种？ ●    [判断题]现场防护人员应站在距施工地点800m附件，且瞭望条件较好的地点显示停车手信号；施工作业地点 ●    [简答题]风电机组叶片定期巡视检查内容有哪些？(1.0分) ●    [单选题]以下关于设备包装的基本要求,不恰当的是()。 ●    [判断题] 抢修人员在处理客户故障报修业务时，仅需要做好相关抢修工作，无需同客户取得联系。 网站地图 我要搜题网  版权所有  ©2024  湘ICP备18016427号   购买搜题卡查看答案 [会员特权] 开通VIP， 查看 全部题目答案 [会员特权] 享免全部广告特权 推荐91天 ¥36.8 ￥80元 31天 ¥20.8 ￥40元 365天 ¥88.8 ￥188元 请选择支付方式 微信支付 支付宝支付 点击支付即表示同意并接受了《购买须知》 立即支付 系统将自动为您注册账号 已有账号登录 找回账号密码 请使用微信扫码支付 订单号： 截图扫码使用小程序[完全免费查看答案] 前往小程序 请不要关闭本页面，支付完成后请点击【支付完成】按钮 支付完成 取消支付 恭喜您，购买搜题卡成功 系统为您生成的账号密码如下： 账号 密码 重要提示：请拍照或截图保存账号密码！ 我要搜题网官网：https://www.woyaosouti.com 我已记住账号密码
