Author Description

Since 1969 librarians, scholars, and bibliographers have recognized the Bibliography of British Literary Bibliographies as the single most comprehensive and authoritative source for information about enumerative and descriptive bibliographies of the printed works of British writers and other works of interest to the student of British literary and bibliographical history, particularly printing and publishing, and literary forms and genres. Brief annotations and reviews are included for books, parts of books, and periodical articles published after 1890, and the book's main chronological arrangement under five division headings is complemented by a detailed index of names and subjects. This new edition has been extensively revised and includes some 1,860 new items and 350 new subject headings, most of them new authors.
