Description:... Following the format of the original edition ( LJ 11/15/81), Foster divides his bibliography into two major sections. Part 1 (General References) moves hierarchically from broad literary topics to specific genres and periods. The much larger Part 2 (Authors) expands coverage from the 50 writers included in the earlier edition to 83, with each selection based on the existence of ``significant academic literary scholarship'' (excluding dissertations and theses) about them. The number of entries--all unannotated--per writer ranges from a few to several hundred, with increased emphasis on pre-20th century authors. Most citations are in Spanish. The format is clear and straightforward, though greater publication data on lesser-known journals cited would have been welcome. Highly recommended for collections serving research needs in the field.
