by Eveleen Myers (née Tennant)

This photograph was taken during Stephen's editorship of the Dictionary of National Biography. At 63 volumes, the Dictionary was the most ambitious literary project of its day. Stephen took a strenuous role at every level of its production, finding it to be 'a very laborious and a very worrying piece of work'. He resigned as editor in 1891 but continued to contribute entries, mostly on literary figures (283 in total). He was celebrated for his 'irreproachable candour and moderation of judgment.'
