Chrétien de Troyes : an analytic bibliography. Supplement I /

Kelly's analytic bibliography of Chretien de Troyes is the third in Tamesis's new series. As the title indicates, this is a supplement to Kelly's original bibliography of Chretien ("Research Bibliographies & Checklists Series," v.17, London, Grant & Cutler, 1976). "Supplement" is misleading, since this new edition of 582 pages overshadows the 153 pages of its predecessor. Although this supplement adds only one new chapter, on illustrations, to the 21 of the original, numerous new subheadings account for the 27 years of research that separate the editions. For example, new sections include "Feminism," "Comparative Literature," "(Post)Modern Theory," "'New' Philology," "Orality, Reading, and Performance," and "Arabic Literary Sources." Other conspicuous additions are new critical editions and concordances. International in scope and with no direct rival in print, this supplement considerably expands the original bibliography and will prove indispensable to advanced scholars, yet in this electronic age, a more selective and annotated bibliography might have been preferable to this unannotated checklist.
