It is axiomatic that contemporary scholarship requires not only a thorough knowledge of an author and his work but also an equally profound awareness of what has been written about him. But very little has been done to assist scholars to gain the mastery of the latter corpus until now. The primary purpose of this bibliography is to offer scholars interested in the future assessment of Joseph Conrad a representative body of criticism of his works from 1895 through 1967. This volume contains 1,977 entries. More than twenty contributors working in fourteen languages for more than five years have gleaned from the major sources of the world all of the significant commentary on Conrad. Many of the entries annotated here have not been listed before in either general or individual bibliographies. Every item either has been read and abstracted by a specialist or is clearly designated as not seen. Except for solving certain bibliographic problems and correcting some inaccuracies, the editors have refrained from rendering personal judgments on the material presented. All of the entries have been carefully edited by Bruce E. Teets and Helmut E. Gerber, the editors of this volume. Helmut E. Gerber is the general editor of the series. Size: Sm 4to.
