This journal provides a record of the scholarship published during each year from 1919 to the present concerning the English language and literature. The aim of this eighty-eight volume work is to provide a record of the scholarship published during each year from 1919 to the present (the volumes are usually two years behind) relating to English language and literature. The volumes are comprised of bibliographic essays that discuss the merits of articles, essays, editions, and books published during the year that pertain to certain topics. Every volume has a section dedicated to Shakespeare (earlier volumes have editions, general studies, studies of individual plays and poems, Shakespearean productions, Shakespearean scholarship echoes and allusions, and gramophone recordings while later volumes have editions and textual studies, Shakespeare in the Theatre, Shakespeare on Screen, criticism, and books reviewed) as well as to The Renaissance and Elizabethan Drama. Some of the section names undergo changes from earlier volumes to later volumes. Each volume concludes with an index. This series is available in the Reference Room (PE58 .E58)
