This page is a spin-off from a critique of the hypertext design at George Landow's Victorian Web. The VWeb seems to offer hundreds of biographies, with no central index. I've included the pre-Victorian prime ministers, but omitted most of the Victorian painters, illustrators, actors, architects, sculptors, and designers.
