Modern Drama Studies: An Annual Bibliography

Modern Drama Studies: An Annual Bibliography CHARLES A. CARPENTER THE PRESENT ANNUAL BIBLIOGRAPHY follows the basic principles and )imita· lions described in the first installment of March 1974. The main objective is to record current scholarship. criticism, and commentary that may prove valuable to students of modern dramatic literature. The bibliography embraces all the expected areas and topics of modern world drama, including playwrights who lived past 1900 (plus BUchner and Bccque) and influential men and women of the theatre other than performers. This year's list covers 1977 and further 1976 items, plus a number of missed 1975 items. The bibliography is divided into eleven parts: A. General (including reference works) B. American C. British (including Irish) D. Commonwealth (other than Asian - i.e.. Canadian. African. and Australasian) E. Spanish (including Portuguese and Latin American) F. French G. Italian t7t H. Germanic (including Austrian, Swiss, and Dutch) 1. Scandinavian K. Eastern European (Russian, Polish, Czech. Hungarian. and Balkan) L. Asian Section A is restricted to material that would not fit in the better-defined categories. Once again I am indebted to Professor J. Norman Wilkinson of Maine for submitting several Chinese drama/ theatre titles. Abbreviations used in the checklist, besides those for the journals listed below, include the first three leuers of months and seasons (Jan, Sum, etc.), Lon and NY and Bos for the cities, Amer and Eng and Lit and Lang and Bibl and Assn for the obvious, and UP to indicate a university press. (In other connections, "University" is shOflened to Univ and "Press" to Pr.) Further abbreviations- most of them self-evident- are Bul for Bulletin, J for Journal, Mag for Magazine, Q for Quaflerly, Rev for Review, and SI for Studies.
