The Riddles of the Exeter Book A Current Bibliography
The list below has been drawn from the MLA Bibliography and checked against the usual annual reviews of work, YWES, Anglo-Saxon England, The Old-English Newsletter, and ABELL. Probably because of problems with subject headings or with search devices, the on-line MLA bibliography appears to be unreliable. For example, two striking omissions are both of Craig Williamson's books. In February, 2004, it became possible to fill out the list of publications for 2000 and 2001 and to add a number of items for earlier years, back as far as 1994. Note that there is nothing for 2003 and that the year 2002 is probably under half of what might be expected. Now, February 15, the listing is the most comprehensive list available. But please note: in the past year we have discovered a dozen items not included in the bibliographies searched. Moreover, the lag time for reporting current work can be as long as two years. Notices of errors and omissions will be greatly appreciated. It is readily apparent that the work has been scattered among a number people, published in a variety of places, and is often difficult to lay hands on. In the next year we will explore the prospects of making some of this available on-line. From the one hundred thirty items listed below, we hope to select a gathering under the rubric "A Companion to the Riddles of the Exeter Book." Ideally we would like to have an annotated bibliography with links to full texts of the most useful work Briefly annotated recommendations for this department are eagerly solicited. Direct your e-mail to Klein@Kenyon.edu. To facilitate identification of locations of publication, the list is preceded by a list of special collections and annuals. There are two additional listings available. Click on authors for an alphabetical list of authors and the years of appearance. Click on journals for an alphabetical list of the journals in which more than one essay has appeared. Return to Welcome? |
