Bibliography, News, and Notes

30. BIBLIOGMPHY, NEIWS, AND NOTES By Helmut E. Gerber A number of writers listed in the first number are not listed in this issue because nothing newsworthy about them came to my attention: Beresford, Carinan, Crackanthorpe, De Morgan, W. L. George, Hewlett, McFee, Mackenzie, Montague, Morrison, Munro, Onions, Pugh, Sinclair, Walpole, Whiteing, Young, and Zangwill. ARNOLD BENNETT Professor Curtin's review article, based on Pound's biography, appears earlier in this issue, as does James Hepburn's excellent manuscript-location list. Other items on Bennett that have come to my attention, including a book by an Italian writer about which Mr. Frank Swinnerton informed me, are being annotated by Hepburn, who will this summer be engaged on his Bennett researches in England. SAMUEL BUTLER Black, Lawrence. Engaged on a University of Texas dissertation tentatively entitled "Butler as Satirist." Kettle, Arnold. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ENGLISH NOVEL. 2 vols. London: Hutchinson's University Library, 1953. Vol. II, Part I, Ch. Ill gives a critical analysis of THE WAY OF ALL FIESH. O'Connor, William Van. "Samuel Butler and Bloomsbury," FROM JANE AUSTEN TO JOSEPH CONRAD. Minneapolis: Univ. of Minn. P., projected for Fall, 1958. R.3. CUNNINGHAME GMHAM Lawrence, D.H. PHOENIX. Ed. E.D. McDonald. New York: Viking, 1936, pp. 355-60, (Omitted in earlier listing.) FORD MADOX FORD Gordon, Ambrose. Thesis erroneous3.y reported in progress (EFT, I, l) was completed in 1951. Dr. Gordon, until recently at Sarah Lawrence, will be at the University of Texas after September, 1958. Lid, Richard W. Until recently at University of Michigan, Lid will be at Santa Barbara College, University of California, Goleta, Cal. 31. Meixner, John A. THE NOVELS OF FORD MADOX FOPD: A CRITICAL STUDY. Brown University dissertation, 1957. See MICROFILM ABSTMCTS (March 1958). Dr, Meixner (Kansas) has sent the abstract of his dissertation, which suggests to me that Ford scholars wou3.d find it quite rewarding. Randall, James R, Critical Study of the Novels, a dissertation in progress at Harvard, 1958. E.M. FÖRSTER Again I forgo listing published works on Forster until the thorough checklist now in preparation can be published, probably in one of the 1959 issues. A few newsworthy items are, however, worth listing. Cahoon, Herbert. The Curator of Autograph Manuscripts and Later Printed Books at the Pierpont Morgan Library, Mr. Cahoon has a letter from Forster to Carlo Linati supplying some rather routine information for an article Linati was planning for the CORRIERE. Linati was a friend of James Joyce and translator of Joyce's works and those of others into Italian. Shahane, V. A. Study of the works with special reference to F's place in the tradition of the English novel, a dissertation in progress at Leeds, 1958. Shusterman, David. Mr. Shusterman, of the Indiana University Center at Jeffersonville, Indiana, is working on a book of critical analyses of Forster's main themes. Smith, Robert. An analysis of the prose style, a dissertation in progress at Pennsylvania, 1958. Wilde, Alan. The World of Forster, a dissertation in progress at Harvard, 1958. JOHN GALSWORTHY Since a thordugh checklist of writings about Galsworthy will dominate the third number of EFT, which will probably be in the mails in August, no publications or news are listed at this time. GEORGE GISSING A positive negative note: the MS of WORKERS IN THE DAWN is privately owned in the U.S., but the owner does not wish to be named. Less mysterious news follows: Batell, Thomas. "Dictionary of Gissing's Fiction," a dissertation in progress at Illinois, 1958. 32. Church, Anthony. "Gissing's Book-Mask," BOOKS AND BOOKMEN, III (Jan. 1958), 10. "In HENRY RYECROFT, Gissing presented himself at one remove, and revealed as much as possible without seeming to violate the national code of reticence. Our contributor," the editorial note goes on, "is working on a biography of George Gissing, and scripted a broadcast on the author for the B.B.C. to commemorate the centenary of his birth." Curtis comments briefly on the seasonal structure (the time structure) suggestive of "one of the great literary myths, the freedom of all one's time...." Ford, George H. DICKENS AND HIS READERS. Princeton: Princeton U.P. for...
