Cloth, 8vo, lvii, 320 pp. 3271 entries. From the preface: "The present volume contains more than seven times the number of entries in any previous bibliography of Shelley; among these are some five hundred items not listed elsewhere, as well as all those genuine items from previous bibliographies that fall within its basic guidelines - the significant mentions or discussions of Shelley published in English from 1823 through 1950. These chronological limits bridge the gap between the comments during Shelley's lifetime (most of which appear in Newman Ivey White's Unextinguished Hearth) and the inclusive bibliography of "Keats, Shelley, Byron, Hunt, and Their Circles" published annually in the Keats-Shelley Journal." Garland reference library of the humanities v. 32. Very Good.

Cloth, 8vo, x, 263 pp, 1 plate. Includes an introduction by Stephen Spender. From the preface: "The earliest reference in this bibliography is dated 1925 and the latest, September 1975.

From the: Introduction to the Checklist : "This checklist has been compiled from personal examination of each item written or published by Dunton. Its primary aim is to epitomize Dunton's career in bookselling, omitting no detail essential to the history of each of the works with which he can be proved to have been concerned. It records the publishing history of many well known works and rescues a few from oblivion.This list should serve not only as a summary of facts but also as an unravelling of Dunton's tangled activities. It thus illumines trade practices and throws occasional rays of light on numerous ancillary problems which can now be understood in the context of their place and time." From a review by Robert Haig: "Parks's exhaustive research has taken him to Stationers' Hall, to Chancery records and Fleet Prison Commitment Books in the Public Record Office, to the Dunton manuscripts in the Bodleian, and to the wills at Somerset House. It seems safe to conclude that no scrap of manuscript evidence bearing on Dunton's career has escaped Parks. Moreover, his chronological checklist of over five hundred items written or published by Dunton, with locations for each, must be definitive and is certainly the cornerstone for any future study of Dunton's work. All in all, Parks has fashioned a splendid bibliographical tool."
