Modern Drama Studies: An Annual Bibliography

Modem Drama Studies: An Annual Bibliography LISA M. POTTlE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF REBECCA CAMERON AND CHARLES COSTELLO The primary objective of the annual bibliography remains unchanged in this issue, which is to record current scholarship. criticism, and commentary that may prove valuable to students of dramatic literature and, to a lesser extent, of theatre history. The bibliography includes all playwrights who lived past 1899 (plus Becque and BUchner) and influential theatre figures other than performers . Reviews, reprinted books (unless the edition has been corrected or updated), unpublished theses, and graduate student periodicals are generally excluded. Also excluded in this year's bibliography are publications of letters or diaries. The bibliography does not include publications of original texts of plays or translations. The annual bibliography also serves as a supplement to Charles Carpenter's Modern Drama Scholarship and Criticism 1966-1980: An International Bibliography (University of Toronto Press, 1986). The checklist is divided as follows: A: General and Miscellaneous (including reference works) B: American C: British and Irish D: Canadian E: Hispanic (including Portuguese) F: French (including Belgian) G: Italian H: Germanic (including Austrian, Swiss, and Dutch) J: Scandinavian K: Eastern European (Russian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Balkan, Baltic) L: Post-Colonial and Asian "General and Miscellaneous" includes those works that do not fit into any other category, except on occasion a general geographical one. Geographic categories Modem Drama, 40 (1997) 183 An Annual Bibliography are arranged so that general and miscellaneous titles come first, followed by special subjects which properly belong to that same geographic area. An article about several Canadian playwrights will therefore be found first in the general Canadian section, and then under each of the playwrights discussed, following the general Canadian section. Publishers, places of publications and names used as subjects are given in full except where convention dictates otherwise. Subtitles of journals are not given in the entries, but are included in the "List of Journals Consulted, 1997," as are the abbreviations of journal names. Cross references have been eliminated in favour of full citations for every occurrence of an entry. Some anempt has been made to include the contents for anthologies or other kinds of multiple item texts, either as individual entries or in content descriptions. An attempt has been made in the case of foreign language journals and monographs to follow the practice usual for a given language. Titles ofjournal articles and monographs are not capitalized. A specific modification is that the "no." abbreviation is used where there is no volume number for a journal. Entries cover from April 1996 to March 1997, with the exception of a number of items that were brought to our attention as not having been cited in previous issues of the bibliography. Subscribers are welcome to send in citations for other lapses for future inclusion, particularly if they have knowledge of specialized or foreign language fields of drama. Harvard University's online libJary catalogue was again the main source used for monographic entries other than Canadian. I would like to thank again in particular Rebecca Cameron and Charles Costello for their hard work researching the entries, Sharon Brown and her colleagues at the University of Toronto for their usual painstaking work of foreign language referencing, Art Cuthbert for his advice on formatting, and for additional editing, Christopher Innes, Louis Iribame, Charles Leland, Erminia Neglia, Brian Parker, Domenico Pietropaolo, Jeanelle Savona, Helfried Seliger, Hersh Zeifman, and Cynthia Zimmerman, board members of Modern Drama.
