For 135 years the Dictionary of National Biography has been the national record of noteworthy men and women who’ve shaped the British past. Today’s Dictionary retains many attributes of its Victorian predecessor, not least a focus on concise and balanced accounts of individuals from all walks of national history. But there have also been changes in how these life stories are encapsulated and conveyed.

In celebration of what would have been Anna Freud’s 119th birthday, we have put together a timeline of important events, her influences and her most celebrated publications. From her education and love of learning, to her role as a teacher, children and child psychoanalysis always played a large part in the life of Anna Freud. Her strong relationship with her father only added to her interest in psychoanalysis, and her research is still held in extremely high regard today. You can check out the timeline of her life below or learn more about Anna Freud’s life via the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
If you think we’ve missed a key part of Anna Freud’s life, we’d love to hear from you in the comment section below.

As much as we love spending all day reading the OUPBlog we recognize that there is other great content out there. For example the Ryder Cup Greats on the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. From the 19th to 21st of September golfers from the United States and Europe battle it out for the Ryder Cup, the sport’s most prestigious team competition. The cup is named after Samuel Ryder, an English seed merchant and passionate amateur player, who funded an international match between British and American professionals in 1926 and sponsored a regular tournament from the following year.
To mark this year’s contest the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography has picked two teams of Ryder Cup greats active from the 1930s to the present day, and drawn from the Oxford DNB, American National Biography, and Who’s Who. Check it out!
