XVIIIBibliography, Textual Criticism, and Reference Works

Abstract

Abstract Owing to Covid and its impact on the supplies of review copies to reviewers, this chapter contains some retrospective coverage. Thanks are due to James E May, Shef Rogers, Patrick Scott, and Dino Felluga, and to our other contributors for letting me know what their contributions have been unable to include. The chapter is divided into five sections, and contents may overlap: 1. Periodicals; 2. Editions; 3. Bibliography and Associated Books and Articles; 4. History and Companions including items excluded from other chapters; 5. History of Libraries, Collections, and Miscellaneous including Reference Materials. The final section includes an account of work that publishers sent electronically. These are difficult to record, not being user-friendly, but it would be doing a disservice to their authors or contributors to omit them.
