Annual Bibliography, Philip Roth Criticism and Resources—2004

185 Annual Bibliography, Philip Roth Criticism and Resources—2004 Compiled by Derek Parker Royal Beginning with this issue, every fall issue of Philip Roth Studies will include a complete bibliography of texts published during the previous calendar year. This list will include primary works by Philip Roth, interviews with Roth, critical works (books, book chapters, and journal essays), book reviews and newspaper profiles, dissertations, and adaptations of Roth’s fiction. With the exception of the interview listings, all sources are arranged in alphabetical order according to the author’s last name (or in the absence of an author, the primary title). The individual essays that compose an edited collection (as in the case of Bloom’s book and the special edition of Studies in American Jewish Literature) are included under either “Book Chapters” or “Journal Articles and Essays” with appropriate cross-listed information. Only the original American editions of Roth’s works are listed below. Of the book reviews, only substantive pieces appearing in major English-language publications are included. All critical sources not published in English are listed under the section “Criticism in Foreign Languages.” In the case of reprinted works, all original publication information is listed along with the more current bibliographic information.
