The New Marxist Criticism: A Bibliography, II

DAVID PECK THE NEW MARXIST CRITICISM. A BIBLIOGRAPHY, II In the two years since I put together the first bibliography of new Marxist criticism (no. 1 below), the movement has mushroomed in many directions . The present supplement cannot pretend to be comprehensive, but I hope that it does record most of the major books, articles, and journals that have appeared in the last two years (plus a few items I missed in the first listing ). My limitation is again items avaUable in English, and I have also consciously limited diis update, for reasons of space, to work in literature and aesthetics, which means that I have excluded items dealing solely with the visual arts, theatre, film and TV, philosophy, and linguistics. As a matter of convenience—and because I want this supplement to be used in conjunction with the original bibliography-I have stayed with the outline form of that first listing, except for a few minor changes: I have combined D and E of the original into D here, and made E a heading for "Special Issues of Journals," where I spell out the contents of those Marxist numbers. F remains a list ofjournals where Marxist essays and reviews can frequently be found. Throughout this supplement, I have abbreviated the most common titles ofjournals, and a list of abbreviations appears at the end of this introductory note. In spite of my limitations here, the lists grow longer every year, as the foUowing pages indicate. In the interest of keeping this bibliography up-todate , I would ask the readers ofMR to note omissions and future items and send them to me. Hopefully we can make this an ongoing and useful listing of the most recent work in Marxist literary criticism and aesthetics. journal abbreviations: CE (College English)MR (The Minnesota Review) SaS (Science & Society)L&H (Literature & History) NGC (New German Critique)NLH (New Literary History) .
