Modern Drama Studies: An Annual Bibliography

Modem Drama Studies: An Annual Bibliography CHARLES A. CARPENTER The present annual bibliography follows the basic principles and limitations described in the June 1984 issue. The main objective 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 embraces all the expected areas and topics of modem world drama, including playwrights who lived past 1899 (plus Buchner and Becque) and influential theatre figures other than performers. Reviews, reprinted books, and unpublished theses are excluded. The annual bibliography also serves as a supplement to my Modern Drama Scholarship and Criticism, 1966-1980: An International Bibliography, which is scheduled for publication by the University of Toronto Press next month. The checklist is divided as follows: A General (including reference works) B American C British and Irish o Commonwealth and Asian E Hispanic (including Portuguese) F French G Italian H Germanic (including Austrian, Swiss, and Dutch) J Scandinavian K Eastern European (Russian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Balkan, Baltic) Section A is restricted to material that would not fit in the better defined categories. I am indebted to the library staffs ofSUNY - Binghamton, Cornell, the Library ofCongress, and the British Library. I welcome a collaborator who will help with German publications: Dr. Heiner Schnelling, Universitiitsbib- 224 An Annual Bibliography liothek, Freie Universitiit Berlin. Last year I announced that I was taking a one'year break from the job. So much for vows; this year's installment is the fullest ever. Abbreviations used in the checklist, besides those for the journals listed below, include Lon, Bos and NY for the cities, Amer, Eng, Lit, Lang, Bibl, Assn, and Lib for the obvious, and UP to indicate "University Press" or any university's press. Further abbreviations - most of them self-evident - are Bul for Bulletin, J for Journal, Mag for Magazine, Q for Quarterly, and Rev for Review.
