Victorian Bibliography for 1999

Edward H. Cohen, Editor


This sixty-eighth annual bibliography has been prepared by a committee of the Victorian Division of the Modern Language Association of America: Edward H. Cohen, chair, Rollins College; Andrea Broomfield, Johnson County Community College; Cheryl Cassidy, Eastern Michigan University; Professor Christopher C. Dahl, SUNY-Geneseo; Maria Frawley, University of Delaware; Anthony Giffone, State University of New York, Farmingdale; Donald Gray, Indiana University; Anne L. Horn, Temple University; Edward S. Lauterbach, Purdue University; Solveig Robinson, Pacific Lutheran University; William Scheuerle, University of South Florida; Richard C. Tobias, University of Pittsburgh; Christine Tootill, Liverpool John Moores University. The bibliography attempts to list the noteworthy publications of 1999 (including reviews of these and earlier entries) that have a bearing on the Victorian period, as well as selected publications from earlier years that have been inadvertently omitted from preceding Victorian Bibliographies. Unless otherwise indicated, the date of publication is 1999. Reference to a citation previously listed (for example, to a work cited in the Victorian Bibliography for 1998, published in the summer 1999/2000 issue of Victorian Studies, p. 776) is indicated by the form: "See VB 1998, 776." All "See VB" references are to the original citation. Researchers seeking reviews should examine each issue of the bibliography published since the listing of the original entry. In general, subsequent citations are continued up to five years. The committee normally does not cite reviews of fewer than three hundred words.

The Victorian Bibliography is organized in a six-part division. Some significant cross-references are noted, although not all that are possible. Section I lists both enumerative bibliographies relating to the period and studies of printing, publishing, libraries, and book production. Section II lists documents, general histories, and studies in historiography. Section III (subdivided into six parts) lists titles on Victorian economics, education, politics, religion, science, and social environment. Section IV lists references to all arts except literature, including studies of architecture, household arts, landscape, music, painting, the performing arts, photography, and sculpture. Section V is exclusively given to literature, literary history, and the development of literary forms. Section VI lists individual authors, first citing significant new editions of their works and then listing critical and biographical studies; journals devoted to individual authors are enumerated in this section in single, extended entries, but reviews appearing in their pages are listed under the title of the book reviewed.

Entries in the bibliography conform as closely as possible with the mechanics of documentation described in The MLA Style Manual (1998). Initials and standard abbreviations are used regularly to provide essential information with minimal use of space. Acronyms used for journal titles are those assigned in the 1999 MLA Directory of Periodicals; for serials scanned by the committee but not included in the MLA Directory, a list of titles and their abbreviations appears below. Place of publication and publisher are often shortened (for example, NY for New York and Oxford UP for Oxford University Press); when the place of publication is clear by designation (for example, University of Chicago Press), the entry lists only the publisher. For commercial publishing houses, only the first name is given (for example, Harper for Harper and Row).

The bibliography continues the policy of citing in Section VI only publications bearing on the Victorian period for Conrad, Shaw, Wells, Yeats, and other transitional figures who published major works in the twentieth century. A more compre hensive list of current studies of these writers appears in the annual MLA International Bibliography.

The editor gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Marlo David and Kendra Knoedl in the preparation of this bibliography and the financial support of Rollins College.
