“One expects [from a bibliography] comprehensiveness and accuracy, along with
succinct and judicious annotations that are still long enough to do justice to the
more important items. Volume 2 in this series–in fact two separate volumes whose
cumulative entries run to over 4,000–fits this brief superlatively: Dickens studies
has not seen an undertaking on this scale since the appearance seven years ago
of the first volume of annotated bibliographies of general studies of Dickens and
his works. . . . DeVries’s vade mecum belongs in every research library. Secure on
the shelves, the two volumes—“a labor of love as well of endurance”—will serve
scholars and critics far into the foreseeable future.”
—David Paroissien, Dickens Quarterly
The second of four volumes of annotated bibliography
of general studies of Dickens and his works,
Volume 2 of DeVries’s acclaimed study offers
thoughtful annotations of over 4,000 items related
to Dickens’s biographical and autobiographical
writings. The introduction provides scholars, students,
and general readers with a thorough
overview of the history and most pressing issues in
this area of Dickens studies, while the entries’ many
cross references and the book’s detailed index will
help quickly direct researchers to the information
they need. The result is a foundation for all future
scholarship on Dickens’s life and works
