1 A BIO-BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORY D.A. FARNIE and GEOFFREY TWEEDALE 5th Edition 2009 2 Preface to Fifth Edition This is the fifth edition of A Bio-Bibliography of Economic and Social History. Its originator and chief author, Douglas Farnie, sadly did not live to see its completion and publication. He died in Manchester on 21 June 2008, aged 82, following complications from heart surgery. The first edition of Douglas‟s Bio-Bibliography was published in Pat Hudson (ed.), Living Economic and Social History. Essays to Mark the 75th Anniversary of the Economic History Society (2001). It listed about 700 individuals. Characteristically, Douglas had been expanding and revising it ever since. It went through further editions, each more expansive than the last. This edition covers over 3,500 individuals. My involvement began casually in 2001, when I began passing Douglas obituaries and snippets of information for inclusion. The amount of information gathered pace as I began using electronic sources to fill gaps and to supplement the material that Douglas was still collecting from libraries and paper sources. Douglas never used a computer (or even a typewriter) and always preferred to use a pen. However, the world-wide-web fascinated Douglas and when it became apparent that it could transform the scope of the Bio-Bibliography, we began to collaborate on producing a much expanded fifth edition. A routine developed. From early 2007 until 27 March 2008, we met once a week at Manchester Metropolitan University Business School not only to revise the electronic copy of the Bio- Bibliography, but also to scour the web for new material. This took considerable effort and courage on Douglas‟s part, because by then his health was making his life increasingly difficult. However, he never complained and never missed a session until the final weeks of his life. It should be underlined that in design and conception, this is Douglas‟s work. It reflects his love of economic history, which was a key feature of his life. A reticent individual, he rarely discussed personal matters and most of his own „history‟ was unknown to even his closest academic colleagues. I worked closely with him over several years, yet knew almost nothing about his background, except that he had once worked at Manchester University and lived in Swinton. Douglas was more expansive about his academic pursuits. More than anyone I have known, he fitted that epithet „widely read‟. Above all, he liked expounding on the subject of the practitioners of economic history. As he sometimes explained to me, what he was attempting in the Bio-Bibliography was to provide information on economic historians throughout the world, but especially the great figures of the past – the individuals that Douglas regarded as the „founders of the discipline‟. Characteristically, Douglas was too modest to place himself on any roster of distinguished historians, so much so that previous 3 editions of the Bio-Bibliography hardly mentioned his own work. One of the sad ironies of this fifth edition is that I have been able, to some extent, to rectify that omission. In the first edition, Douglas apologised „to those whose names have been omitted‟. I can only repeat that apology. We have tried to make the Bio-Bibliography as comprehensive and as international as possible, but inevitably many individuals will have been missed. If so, it is by accident (and our own ignorance) rather than by design. Inclusion in this list is not meant as a mark of commendation. Where possible, we have tried to provide a book title or descriptive comment, but unfortunately not enough time has been available to do this for each individual. Before his death, Douglas made extensive additions to the listing of books and articles for each entry – all of which I have been able to insert from our common copy. One thing I did not have – and which Douglas was completing alone – was a list of the many individuals who had helped him with the project over the years. The acknowledgements for this final edition must, therefore, remain sparse. However, David Jeremy provided information and advice in the UK, not least in publishing the first directory of business historians. John Lyons was helpful in advising on the American economic history scene. The research division at MMUBS must also be thanked for providing key facilities and research time for this project. It was here that Douglas in his retirement found a new academic home and the title of professor – something never accorded him at Manchester University, despite his classic contributions to the history of the Lancashire cotton industry.
