Old and Middle English Literature GOLDENTREE BIBLIOGRAPHIES In Language and Literature under the series editorship of O. B. Hardison, Jr. Old and Middle English Literature compiled by William Matthews University oj California, Los Angeles NEW YORK APPLETON-CENTURY-CROFTS Division of Meredith Corporation Copyright © 1968 by MEREDITH CORPORATION All rights reserved This book, or parts thereof, must not be used or reproduced in any manner with­ out written permission. For information address the publisher, Appleton-Century- Crofts, Division of Meredith Corporation, 440 Park Avenue South, New York, N. Y. 10016. 6107-1 Library of Congress Card Number: 68-12339 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA E 60490 Preface THE FOLLOWING BIBLIOGRAPHY is for graduate and ad- vanced undergraduate students who desire a convenient guide to scholarship in the broader and more important areas of English literature and culture before 1525. The listing is necessarily se­ lective, but every effort has been made to provide ample coverage of the major works and topics and adequate representation of minor ones. Anglo-Latin and Anglo-French writings, which are no less part of the literary product of England during this period than those in English, are given suitable recognition. Chaucer, the subject of a full bibliography in this series, is represented simply by a corporal’s guard of major studies, many of which are relevant to the work of other writers of the period. The bulk of the items reflect American and British scholarship and criticism of the last thirty years or so. Some important studies in French and German are included, however, as well as Continental studies written in English. Except for a few important items the cut-off date is 1965. In order to keep this bibliography to a practical size, it has been necessary to omit a number of references: unpublished dis­ sertations, literary histories (except for a few), most bibliographies of bibliography, short notes and explications (except when they contain important data), and older biographical studies that have been superseded by later work. Hence many good books, and even more good articles, have had to be neglected. To these victims of the imperatives of limits, I tender apologies; users of this bibliog­ raphy will, I hope, hasten to repair my wrongs in the margins. In general, the compiler has steered a middle course between the brief lists of references included in the average textbooks and the long professional bibliography in which significant items are often lost in the sheer number of references given. This bibliog­ raphy should materially assist the student in his effort to survey v PREFACE VI a topic, write reports and term papers, prepare for examinations, and do independent reading. Attention is called to four features intended to enhance its utility. (1) Extra margin on each page permits listing of library call- numbers of often-used items. (2) Space at the bottom of every page permits inclusion of additional entries, and blank pages for notes follow the final entry. (3) An index of medieval authors and anonymous writings, and an index of modern authors follow the bibliography proper. (4) The Index and cross-reference numbers direct the reader to the page and position-on-the-page of the desired entry. Thus, in an entry such as Orosius, Paulus. King Alfred’s Orosius, ed. Henry Sweet, EETS 79, London, 1883 (Old English and Latin). Tr. in Pauli [23.14]. the number 23.14 indicates that the entry referred to is on page 23, and is the 14th item on the page. Both page numbers and individual entry numbers are conspicuous in size and position so that the process of finding entries is fast as well as simple. Although the order of entry is usually alphabetical, by author or title, the nature of the material sometimes makes other arrange­ ments more convenient. Thus, when critical items on a particular work are few, they are placed directly after the work itself; Eng­ lish chronicles are given chronologically; romances are grouped by theme. Strictly alphabetical arrangement of medieval authors and works, and also of commentators, is given in the two indexes. Primary sources are indicated by listing the initial entry in large capital letters. Additional annotations, given in brackets, which may conclude an entry are: (1) abbreviations of paperback publishers and series numbers, all based on the list of abbrevia­ tions given in Paperbound Books in Print; (2) cross reference(s) to other entries in the bibliography in which the work cited is also included; (3) a phrase describing the subject of an allusive title. Symbols for journals and series cited herein generally follow PREFACE vii the standard forms given at the beginning of recent PMLA bibliog­ raphies.
