This is a ten-year supplement to the six volumes already published in the series Index to British Literary Biography, fully indexed for consistency with earlier volumes. The series provides a comprehensive record of the writings that describe and study the history of the printed book in Britain, and works of bibliography and textual criticism from the earliest times. The period covered by this volume was bibliographically very active, witnessing a great renewal of interest in the history of the book. The volume has seven main sections: "General Bibliographies of and Guides to British Literature," "General and Period Bibliography," "Regional Bibliography," "Book Production and Distribution," "Forms, Genres, and Subjects," and "Authors". Complete information about each book or journal article is provided in standard form, and in many instances objective annotations are given, affording additional access to the items through a very detailed index.
Three criteria were used to determine who among the scores of British writers of fiction, flourishing during the years 1900-1950, would be represented in this research guide. Included are: (1) all generally acknowledged major novelists ; (2) all major men of letters who have made a significant contribution to modern fiction ; (3) all minor writers who have attracted a significant amount of bibliographical, biographical, or critical commentary and who have contributed significantly to the development of modern long and short fiction in Britain.
James L. Harner's Literary Research Guide, which Choice calls "the standard guide in the field," evaluates important reference materials in English studies. Since the publication of the first edition in 1989, tens of thousands of students and educators have used the Guide as an aid to scholarly research. In the new edition Harner has added entries describing resources published since May 2001 and has revised nearly half the entries from the fourth edition. The fifth edition contains more than 1,000 entries, which discuss an additional 1,555 books, articles, and electronic resources and cite 723 reviews. Readers of earlier editions will notice the inclusion of substantially more electronic resources, particularly reliable sites sponsored by academic institutions and learned societies, to account for the proliferation of bibliographic databases, text archives, and other online resources. This edition also features a new section on cultural studies.
