| Abstract | The fifth edition was rewritten by new editor Nicolas Slonimsky, who would remain editor of Baker's biographical dictionary for several decades (up to the eighth edition in 1992) and have a considerable influence on the style and content of the dictionary. In preparing the fifth edition, Slonimsky expanded the size of the work to 1,855 pages and undertook a thorough review of the existing entries, expending considerable effort verifying and correcting biographical details such as birth and death dates by reference to archival sources. |
