XVIII Bibliography, Textual Criticism, and Reference Works

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter has five sections: 1: Periodicals; 2. Editions; 3. Bibliography and Associated Books and Articles; 4. Histories and Companions; 5. Shakespeare, History of Libraries, Collections, and Miscellaneous including Reference Materials. These sections are not inviolable. With some exceptions this review of the year’s work published in 2017 in the areas of bibliography, textual criticism, and reference materials is alphabetically arranged. Within the alphabetical arrangement by author there are some exceptions where publications are grouped under the respective authors rather than under editors of, for instance, the correspondence. There is also included in this chapter work that has been missed in some of the other chapters in this volume. Readers should be aware that coverage is largely limited to those items that have been received by the contributor, who would like to thank James E. May, James Fergusson, Patrick Scott, and Jan Webster for their assistance.
