Introduction
Within the framework of TrotskyanaNet, we provide biographical sketches (or, short notices) and bibliographical notes (selective bibliographies) about people who were (or are) more or less 'renowned' Trotskyists – either for all their adult life or for a certain span of their life only. The fact whether or not a person is bio-bibliographically featured here, has neither to do with his/her degree of importance with regard to the history of the Trotskyist movement nor with the person's scholarly, ideological, political or historical relevance in general. With a very few exceptions, the persons concerned are deceased.
Furthermore, we like to refer to our introductory remarks to the Trotskyists' Name Authority Files. Bio-bibliographical information about some 180 deceased Trotskyists is also to be found in Chapter 9 of our Leon Trotsky Bibliography.
The scope of our bio-bibliographical miscellanies are varying considerably; most of them are provided as PDF files; longer sketches are, as a rule, divided into three or four parts:
- basic biographical data (name, pseudonyms, date of birth and death, etc.)
- a short biographical sketch (emphazising especially the role of the featured person within the Trotskyist movement) or a biographical note
- bibliographical notes (selective bibliographies of works by and about the featured person)
- sidelines, notes on archives
