About this Item
Description:
Holland-backed boards, 4to, xxxvi, 329 pp. Over 2500 entries. Part 1: 1475-1642; Part 2: 1643-1739. Each part is arranged alphabetically by author and title. Gives full title and imprint, list of editions, libraries in which copies included were seen, and bibliographies in which the work is described. Includes both English tales and English translations of foreign works. Bibliographical notes are provided. From a contemporary review: " of the value of the bibliography one cannot speak with too much emphasis. Both for the positive data which it makes easily accessible for the first time, and for the numerous special studies which it suggests, it is perhaps the most significant single contribution yet made to the early history of prose fiction in England." Covers rubbed and slightly scuffed, contents agetoned, endpapers partly cracked with slight exposure of muslin, traces of removed labels or marks from spine, otherwise Good.
