The ODNB states that during his seventy-year career as a writer he produced no fewer than forty novels, sixty theological volumes, twenty-four guide and travel books, plus sundry general interest books.
The focus of the ODNB (the favored shorthand) is wider than its predecessor, including many more foreigners who either "settled in the British Isles for significant periods or whose visits enabled them to leave a mark on British life.
Or, to put the matter the other way round, if the summary in the ODNB suffices, why bother writing the full length biography?
