1911 Encyclopædia Britannica: Encyclopedia II - 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica - 1911 Britannica in the 21st century

While it was indeed a reliable source for its time, for modern readers some articles are now less so for a number of reasons including systemic nationalism, polemic authors, hagiography treatments and factual accuracy. Articles about sensitive topics that could, for example, strike chords of British nationalism, such as the French First Empire, are today considered highly biased. Some articles are polemic, such as the Stockholm Bloodbath, ...
