We’re immensely proud that the Oxford Dictionary of National Biographies (Oxford DNB) has included a biography of Lord Soulsby as one of just 241 people who died in 2017.
The Oxford DNB is the national record of over 60,000 men and women who have shaped British history and culture, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century.
Inclusion is by invitation and Lord Soulsby’s biography provides an affectionate as well as a factual report of his life and his inspirational impact. It covers his entire life from his boyhood in Cumbria, through his academic career in the UK and the USA, and concluding with his political career as a member of the House of Lords.
