A Rationale of Trans-inclusive Bibliography

This article posits a framework for the principles and practices of trans-inclusive bibliography, describing its necessity and challenges, considering historical analogues, and offering solutions for trans-inclusive bibliography in digital contexts. Proper names are the primary way that a person is credited with their scholarly labor, yet using names raises ethical issues. Trans-inclusive bibliography shares many of the same ethical concerns and strategies as trans-inclusive citation practices, but differs in terms of scale and stakes. Given that exhaustive enumerative bibliographies are often used to create individual works cited lists, their choices and practices can reverberate through an entire academic field. This article centers on enumerative bibliography, particularly the challenges and potential solutions for the World Shakespeare Bibliography. Trans-inclusive bibliography requires accepting bibliography's flexibility and contingency, relinquishing comforting myths about the stability of the historical record. We outline the ethical core of trans-inclusive bibliography and offer practicable scholarly habits to implement it.
 
 

Placing Césaire

Picture the bibliographical prelude: in 1973, Frederick Ivor Case publishes the first enumerative bibliography of Aime Cesaire with the simple title “Aime Cesaire: Bibliographie”. Around the same time, we imagine Thomas Hale already hard at work on his thesis, “Aime Cesaire: His Literary and Political Writings with a Bio-Bibliography”, which he submits in 1974. A few years later, in 1978, a revised version of the latter is published in a special issue of Etudes francaises, “Les Ecrits d’Aime ...

Placing Césaire

Introductionpicture the bibliographical prelude: in 1973, Frederick Ivor Case publishes the first enumerative bibliography of Cesaire with the simple title Cesaire: Bibliographie. Around the same time, we imagine Thomas Hale already hard at work on his thesis, Aime Cesaire: His Literary and Political Writings with a BioBibliography, which he submits in 1974. A few years later, in 1978, a revised version of the latter is published in a special issue of Etudes francaises, Ecrits d'Aime Cesaire: Bibliographie commentee. Such bibliographic activity in the 1970s announces - perhaps more than any other event - the end of Cesaire's main writing activity, and the arrival of monumental Cesaire.By the end of the 1960s, soon after the publication of Une Tempete, a total of 135 scholarly works had been published on his work. By the end of the 1970s, the number more than doubled to 273. At this point, the total production on Cesaire included at least thirty-six monographs, 162 articles and five theses.1 Cesaire was well on his way to being required reading for the aggregation at the Ecole Normale Superieure - the same aggregation that he himself failed because he was too busy writing. Today, only three years after Kora Veron refined and expanded the work of Thomas Hale in Les Ecrits d'Aime Cesaire: Bibliographie commentee (1913-2008) in 2013, we count 1,201 secondary works written directly on Cesaire.2 As Hale and Veron's bibliography attests, we also know much more today about Cesaire's own writings in print; and with the work of several researchers and archivists in recent years - Jean Jonnaissant, Lilian Pestre de Almeida, Katerina Gonzalez Seligman, Kora Veron, Nadine Albert Ronsin and myself, to name but a few - a genetic dossier is beginning to take shape with the surfacing of rich and important manuscripts.I find it difficult to believe that the bibliographic work started with Cesaire's critics in the back pages of their essays and monographs as early as the 1950s, and continued apace in the publication of these major bibliographies, has not had an impact in the growing research activity around Cesaire. What a shame, then, that institutional support for bibliographic work of the enumerative, authorial kind has dwindled in recent decades,3 and more so at the moment when we need to deploy these modalities for the sake of decolonial, queer, feminist and ecological memory. The internal struggles within bibliographic circles have a role to play in this state of affairs. After all, enumerative bibliography has too often been seen as the poor cousin of analytic and descriptive bibliography by those who should know better.4 I would argue, though, that the bulk of the blame lies elsewhere.The more the work of enumerative bibliography is seen as merely 'practical' or 'technical' - the kiss of death of the hermeneutic class - the further the labour required to compile them shifts into the black boxes of the academy and the private sector. We should leave the deep history of these processes for future work, and content ourselves with a brief outline of the major forces that shape enumerative bibliography today. The most important, by far, is the rise of electronic cataloguing and its back-end indexing, which has come to meet the 'information needs' of scholars. These catalogues, both open and private, are accessible today through open and closed networks. Their very material construction traces the history of changing labour relations within and without the academy in recent decades, without losing its connection to a history of indexing that dates to the dawn of human inscription.With the rise of databases and discoverability we see a series of new private industries forming alliances with research and public libraries.5 In recent years a handful of North Atlantic monopolies - EBSCO, ProQuest, Springer, WileyBlackwell and Elsevier, to name a few - have come to dominate the production, flow and 'discovery' of the scholarly and pedagogical record in European languages at massive scales. …

General References: Machine‐Readable Bibliographies and Data Sources

This article reprints selected excerpts from Wojciech Zalewski's contribution to the first volume in the Bowker‐Saur's short‐lived Area Studies Guides series. This volume summarized recent research on the former Soviet Union in ten broad subject areas, such as land and people, history, the economy, society and culture, government and politics, science and technology, business, and general reference. International specialists in each field reviewed key titles and authors and provided extensive, annotated bibliographies. This excerpt omits Zalewski's list of “general reference” works, concentrating instead on the author's prescient comments about the transformative effects of computerization on the field of bibliography in general, and Soviet area studies in particular. In the conclusion to his brief survey of the state of the field on the eve of the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union, Stanford's Slavic curator adumbrates the necessity of developing “new bibliographical skills” and notes (but does not expand upon) the link between this enumerative bibliography and the class on Slavic bibliography that provided its actual raison d'etre.

Cataloging Compared to Descriptive Bibliography, Abstracting and Indexing Services, and Metadata

SUMMARY Cataloging is compared to descriptive bibliography, to enumerative bibliography and abstracting and indexing services, as well as to metadata created by Web search engines or nonprofessionals at sites such as Amazon.com. These four types of metadata are compared with regard to object of the description, functions, scope, number of copies examined, collective vs. individual creation, standardization, authority control, evidence, amount of descriptive detail, degression, time span the data is intended to last, and degree of evaluation.

The AustLit Gateway and Scholarly Bibliography: A Specialist Implementation of the FRBR

SUMMARY This paper discusses how the AustLit: Australian Literature Gateway's interpretation, enhancement, and implementation of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions' Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR Final Report 1998) model is meeting the needs of Australian literature scholars for accurate bibliographic representation of the histories of literary texts. It also explores how the AustLit Gateway's underpinning research principles, which are based on the tradition of scholarly enumerative and descriptive bibliography, with enhancements from analytical bibliography and literary biography, have impacted upon our implementation of the FRBR model. The major enhancement or alteration to the model is the use of enhanced manifestations, which allow the full representation of all agents' contributions to be shown in a highly granular format by enabling creation events to be incorporated at all levels of the Work, Expression, and Manifestation nexus.

“Unhappy all the Time”: Religion in Anthony Burgess's Earthly Powers

I like Somerset Maugham's stuff tremendously [...,] but I should think he was unhappy all the time, wouldn't you? He was an unpleasant man. --P. G. Wodehouse, 1975 interview W. Somerset Maugham appears in thin disguise as Kenneth Marchal Toomey in Anthony Burgess's Earthly Powers (1980), the supposed memoirs of a literary lion who derides himself as an indifferent and overrewarded scribbler (278). Although Maugham was particularly religious and certainly Roman Catholic, Burgess gives his protagonist a strong Catholic background. Toomey says that he was born into the faith but, not able to believe (338), proposes to die out of it. Meanwhile he has a friend who becomes the Pope. In fact, the book begins with Toomey's being asked to help make the dead Pope a saint. The way in which religion shapes the principal character (and the literature he produces) in Burgess's satiric masterpiece is file main focus of this essay. Using only his middle names, John Anthony Burgess Wilson (1917-1995) wrote more than 60 books, including television and film scripts as well as his own memoirs (Little Wilson and Big God [1987] and You've Had Your Time [1990]). In 1983 Garland Press published Paul Boytinck's Anthony Burgess: An Enumerative Bibliography with Selected Annotations, which ran about as long as Earthly Powers--some 600 pages. Earthly Powers is a title that betrays Burgess's constant preoccupation with word play. Earthly Powers, however, is more than playing with language, as Burgess did when he invented Primitive Indo-European for Jean-Jacques Annaud's film The Quest for Fire (1982) or a Russian-influenced British jargon for A Clockwork Orange (1963) or an Elizabethan dialect for a memoir of William Shakespeare's time, Nothing Like the Sun (1964). In Earthly Powers Burgess's lifelong interests in music (he was a talented composer, an erudite music critic, and the author of a 1974 novel about Ludwig Beethoven, Napoleon Symphony), in the works of James Joyce (he wrote an excellent introduction to that difficult author), and in religion (he stunned us in 1985 with The Kingdom of the Wicked, which is nothing less than a retelling of the Acts of the Apostles) all appear in the satire of an octogenarian author looking back over his career and the literary society in which he achieved fame. Other authors have spoken through first-person narrators--from the Emperor Hadrian to Huck Finn, from Felix Krull to Holden Caulfield. Burgess lets the subject of the satire indite and indict himself. All the while Burgess is engaged in what he said was his constant aim in literature: to clarify moral choice in dealing with life's problems. Here and elsewhere he takes an Augustinian tack in recognizing our fallen human nature. We see the flawed character of the central character and the many shortcomings of his lifestyle as the rather nasty old man gives the raspberry, the finger, or the ax. Toomey is supposed to be as successful as Maugham, and he certainly is as curmudgeonly as Evelyn Waugh and as homosexual as Angus Wilson. (Waugh once said he would have been even nastier had he converted to Catholicism.) Toomey teaches, as it were, by bad example, and we cannot but feel some sympathy with this anti-hero. The Bad Guys, whether Richard III or Macbeth or lesser mortals, are always interesting and often truer to life than most of the Good Guys depicted in literature. Toomey has spent a long life nursing his nastiness. Now he has decided to strike out against a whole range of targets, many of them quite deserving of excoriation. As in all truly successful satire, we do entirely despise him; we rather like him. In fact, we are pushed toward loving him because we want to tell him that lack of love is his basic problem. As with all the most trenchant satire, however extreme he may be, Toomey is merely farcical; he is human and tragic. …

Very Necessary but Not Quite Sufficient: A Personal View of Quantitative Analysis in Book History

On a huge hill, Cragged, and steep, Truth stands, and hee that will Reach her, about must, and about must goe. —John Donne, Satyre III Accounting for the Material Text Before one says anything else about book history, one should remind readers and practitioners alike that the subject is rooted in the material world. Textual or iconographic information is produced, processed, transmitted, received, and preserved by a series of physical acts on material objects within the real world. The writer's cramp, the aching back of the scribe, the stench from parchment being prepared, the creaking frame of the common press, the weight and yet fragility of type, the roar and racket of newspaper presses, the clatter of Monotype casters, the damp solidity of printed sheets, the glazed garishness of yellowbacks and pulp fiction, the extravagant juxtapositions in encrusted layers of fly posters on unattended walls—all tell us of one thing above all others: meaning and significance in human affairs is not conveyed with immaculate and abstract precision from writer to reader. What it also tells us is that this material world is characterized in part, and therefore is to be understood in part, by countable quantities: reams of paper, tons of type, print runs, and percentage returns on capital. [End Page 283] This recognition is not new. Anglophone book history is based solidly on the great Anglo-American tradition of bibliography, and an important part of that is historical and enumerative bibliography. It was the commitment of scholars in the last century to enumerative bibliography that produced the sequence of short title catalogues (STCs)—eventually to run from the Incunable Short Title Catalogue (ISTC) to the Nineteenth Century Short Title Catalogue (NSTC)—on which some of the most important work on the quantitative history of the book in Britain has been done. Although the nineteenth and twentieth centuries provide overwhelmingly more quantifiable data than any other period, bibliometric work on the STCs have ensured that, for instance, we now have a clear idea of the origins and nature of the printed books imported into England and Scotland in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, 1 and of annual book production in England, Scotland, and Ireland between 1475 and 1700. 2 It is significant that, in the early 1990s, all four postdoctoral fellowships established to support the "History of the Book in Britain" project and funded by the Leverhulme Trust were in the areas of quantitative book history. 3 In book history the "case study" approach is interesting and important but, on its own, is not enough. We certainly have to look at specifics: we need to study particular titles, demanding authors, ingenious publishers, depressive booksellers, and perverse readers. Without such studies we would miss the texture and taste of bookmaking humanity. However, such studies, though necessary, are not sufficient. Any number of individual studies would not be sufficient, because you could never be certain that you had assembled a reliable sample that did justice at large to the particular period or area that you were studying. Also, the individual studies need a context to confer on their details a proper significance. Let me give you an example. A few years ago I was working on a now wholly obscure novelist and popular historian called Walter Besant. In the late nineteenth century, however, Besant was a great success, a well-known and feted man of letters who would be approached by popular journalists of the day for his views on such matters as who should be the next poet laureate or the significance of the "New Woman." Above all, in terms of his value to posterity, Besant founded and helped run the first successful organization for writers in the United Kingdom, the Society of Authors. I was working on the archives of Chatto & Windus, Besant's main publisher, and was pulling out what I thought were interesting details. In the 1880s...

English-Canadian Literary Anthologies: An Enumerative Bibliography by Robert Lecker

ESC 26, 2000 W hen McClelland stepped down as president in 1982, Mar­ garet Laurence (he was so proud of her achievement in The Diviners) cheered him with the reminder of his own achieve­ ments: Please do not ever underestimate what you have done in your years as a publisher, Jack. Damn near singlehandedly, you transformed the Canadian publishing scene from one of mediocrity and dullness to one of enormous interest and vi­ tality. Had it not been for M & S, I wonder if a whole lot of people such as myself, Mordecai, A1 Purdy, Farley, Pierre, Peggy Atwood, and on and on and on would have found the wide audience of readers that we have. I doubt it. (282) Amen to that! GEORGE L. PARKER / Royal Military College Robert Lecker. English-Canadian Literary Anthologies: An Enumerative Bibliography. Teeswater, ON: Reference Press, 1997. 209. $35.00 paper. O f the making of anthologies in Canada, there is, it would seem, no end. Robert Lecker’s bibliography is remarkable not least for its length, which suggests that the literary anthology is a major cultural form, not a minor one as we may have thought. His brief introduction is dominated by notions of Canada as a kind of textual construction: “Different anthologists working in the same era often construct Canada in very different ways.” “In an­ thologies of Canadian literature, canonical anxieties inform the representation of nation and necessarily affect the ways in which a reader understands the meaning of ‘country’ as a textually constructed idea” (vii). About these statements I have anxieties o f my own, one of which concerns the assumption that we can “construct” a Canadian nation out of English-Canadian culture alone. Lecker goes on to argue that a “history of Canadian lit­ erature organized in relation to anthology formation would be a record of successive attempts to negotiate between the need for a stable and cohesive vision of literary tradition and the desire 362 REVIEWS to destabilize such cohesion in the pursuit of literary forms and genres that challenge the values of literary inheritance” (viii). We may recognize T. S. Eliot’s “Tradition and the Individual Talent” in the background of this apparently post-modern for­ mulation. Unexpectedly, however, and perhaps unintentionally, this volume seems to imply that the whole notion of an EnglishCanadian literary canon, and possibly of English-Canadian cul­ ture itself, may be approaching a crisis. The bibliography itself is, like Caesar’s Gaul, divided into three parts: an alphabetical listing by editor (or title, where no editor can be determined), a listing by title, and a chronological listing. Finally, there is a “References Consulted.” The first of these has the complete information for each entry, and the other two must be used with reference to it. Most people will use this volume as a reference work, as indeed it was intended to be used, but there are some unexpected little pleasures to be gained in browsing through it, not the least of which is the occasional ti­ tle that demands attention by its very oddity: Worst Canadian Stories, for example, or The Second Charnel House Anthology of Bad Poetry (there is no corresponding first anthology); Not Unsaid, which promises a model, if not a stereotype, of Cana­ dian modesty and self-effacement; and When We Lie Together: Poems from Quebec and Poems by G. V. Downes, which, at the very least, may prompt reflections on two solitudes. Offering less pleasure are some mistakes, and in some cases it is hard to tell whether they are mistakes of transcription or whether they appeared in the original. Is the Lorrie Andersen who collaborated with Irene Aubrey and Louise McDiarmid in the editing of Storyteller’s Encore in 1984 (4) the same person as the Lori Anderson who collaborated with the same people on Storytellers’ Rendezvous in 1979 (2), and are those apostrophes in the right places? Is Arashido Press located in Rosetown (75) or Rosedale (85)? Did Eva Zaremba really edit Priviledge of Sex (86)? I am reasonably sure that Fred Manson and Fred Mason, who are listed on the same page as editors of different issues of Northern Ontario Anthology, are the same person (49), and...

Stage over Study: Charles Marowitz, Edward Bond, and Recent Materialist Approaches to Shakespeare

The flurry of Shakespearean adaptations in the 1960s and 1970s represents a significant yet largely neglected chapter of recent cultural history. This article assesses two of the more enduring adaptations – Edward Bond's Lear (Royal Court Theatre, 1971) and Charles Marowitz's Measure for Measure (Open Space Theatre, 1975) – in order to show how these controversial texts anticipated later mainstream critical approaches which still affect our reception of Shakespeare in the late 1990s. Several parallels between Marowitz and Bond's adaptations and recent materialist readings of their Shakespearean sources suggest that the adaptors anticipated the critics, and that both sought meaning from their Shakespearean originals by focusing on certain aspects of the text and by disregarding others. By demonstrating that whilst Marowitz and Bond's adaptations should best be regarded as a form of stage-centred criticism, Sonia Massai suggests that literary critical approaches inevitably reflect an arbitrary and historically determined appropriation of the Shakespearean original. Sonia Massai is a Lecturer in English Studies at St. Mary's, Strawberry Hill, a College of the University of Surrey. She has published articles on Shakespearean adaptations in Studies in English Literature, Analytical and Enumerative Bibliography, and in a special issue of Textus: English Studies in Italy. She is currently collaborating with Jacques Berthoud on the New Penguin edition of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus.

The General Prologue. 2 vols. A Variorum Edition of the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer. Vol. 2, The Canterbury Tales, Parts 1A and 1B ed. by Malcolm Andrew, Charles Moorman, Daniel J. Ransom

REVIEWS MALcoLM ANDREW, CHARLES MOORMAN, and DANIEL J. RANSOM, eds., with the assistance of Lynne Hunt Levy. The General Prologue. 2 vols. A Variorum Edition of the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer. Vol. 2, The Canterbury Tales, Parts lA and lB. Norman and London: University of Oklahoma Press, 1993. Part lA, pp. xxvii, 298. Part lB, pp. xxiii, 623. $115.(,)0 (both vols.). This is the latest and largest of the volumes of the Variorum Chaucer to appear. It is divided into two parts. Part lA, a collaborative undertaking, prints critical and textual commentary, text, collations, textual notes, and bibliography. Part lB, more than twice as large, is by Andrew alone and comprises the explanatory notes. Part lA inspires some degree ofbibliographical and textual unease from its opening pages. The list ofmanuscripts (pp. xxi-xxiii) records sixty-one copies ofThe Canterbury Tales. It cannot be too widely known that there are eighty-two recorded manuscript copies in whole or in part of Chaucer's work. The principles on which some are recorded here and others not are not readily explicable. One might have thought that, since about one­ fourth of all surviving manuscripts contains selections from among the Tales, they would have been excluded here. To some degree this is so, and it accounts for the omission of such copies as Ct, HI1-3, Hn, LI2, Np, Pp, Ra4, and St, among others, as well as such fragments as Ds2 and Kk (although it would have been nice ifthese omissions were explained). It is rather more difficult to grasp the inclusion of Ad2, En2, Ha1, Ha5, He (now Princeton University Library 100--the shelf mark is omitted), LP, Mc, Ox, Ph3, PI, and Ra1, none ofwhich contains The General Prologue, or ofMe (a fragment of The Nun's Priest's Tale). It is even less easy to under­ stand why there is no mention ofBritish Library manuscript Add. 10340, a fragment of The General Prologue, and Add. 35286, which has most ofit. Nor are the two substantive printed editions ofCaxton dealt with happily. We are told "later scholarship {than Manly-Rickert} indicates that 1476 is more probable" (p. 82) as the date of publication for CX1 . In fact, the revised STC (published in 1986) dates it to {1477}. The date of CX2 is given as "1484" (p. 83). The revised STC gives it as {1483}. The list of modern editions collated includes Robinson's second edition, even though 157 STUDIES IN THE AGE OF CHAUCER this has been superseded by the Riverside Chaucer of1987 under the general editorship of Larry D. Benson (although its variants from RB2 are briefly noted on p. 122). Nor is there any attempt to take account of the objec­ tions that have been raised to the textual procedures employed for editing The Canterbury Tales in the Variorum, particularly Ralph Hanna's devastat­ ing critique in Analytical & Enumerative Bibliography (8 [1984}: 184-97), which seems, in textual terms, to do to the Variorum what the iceberg did to the Titanic. Some of the other sections of Part A also leave something to be desired. The Textual Commentary (pp. 60ff.) contains some curious elements. Thus the unique spurious lines that occur in the Northumberland manuscript are sometimes recorded, even though the readings of this manuscript are not otherwise included. But when its spurious lines appear in other manu­ scripts, its evidence is not noted (for example, line 836). There may be some sense here, but I am not sure that it is worth struggling to find it. In accordance with Variorum policy the Textual Commentary records only selected manuscript variant readings, while the readings in such obsolete printed editions as Morell's (1737) and Tyrwhitt's (1775) are given in full. At times one is tempted to wonder a little at the criteria that are employed in recording variants even among the manuscripts that have been collated. Thus some random checking ofGg iv.27 noted such points as the omission of its reading pynche for pynchen (line 326), one which, since it affects syl­ labic value, ought to have been noted. Similarly, it reads hethnesse for hethenesse (line 49), again with metrical consequences; the reading is not noted...

Columbus Bibliographies

Summary A brief description and evaluation of a few prominent enumerative bibliographies of Christopher Columbus and his writings may provide some direction for such bibliographies in the future. The term enumerative bibliography distinguishes an organized list of books and articles from other kinds of bibliography. The term bibliography also applies, of course, to the study of books as books, and to the art of critical editing. The current state of enumerative bibliography permits us to judge the Columbus bibliographies of the past-that is, before 1992-ac-cording to certain criteria (Provost, 1987) which apply to annotated bibliographies, i.e., bibliographies that include commentaries or annotations in the entries. Such a bibliography of Columbus editions and studies will be selective, for a mountain of trivial books and essays must be avoided in favor of genuine scholarly contributions.

The Dialectics of Enumerative Bibliography: Observations on the Historical Study of the Practices of Citation and Compilation

The history of enumerative bibliography, long neglected, emerges as published or canonic lists come to be distinguishable from online, dynamic services. Through the former, it is possible to identify specific ways in which bibliographies are based on other bibliographical models and themselves serve as models, and it is possible to show how they reflect scholarship at large and contribute to its advancement as well. The resulting dialectic comes into focus through studies of particular practices of such matters as conventional delimitation of topic (chronological, geographical, or qualitative), organization, citation, and annotation. Specific instances help further to suggest the beginnings of an anthology of Laws of Bibliographical Dialectics, useful as considerations in the planning of specific lists to be compiled and for bibliographical policy in general. The history of enumerative and systematic bibliography has so far occupied a very modest corner in the world of intellectual history, no doubt partly because bibliographies work best when they can be taken for granted. An equally important reason is the wealth and diversity of the sources: thousands of meticulous compilations both venerable and forgettable; occasional tributes to their compilers; critical reviews that surprisingly often uncover the major perspectives and limitations; widely scattered particulars on titles missed and corrections of errors.3 1. This essay is based on a paper read at the annual meeting of the Association for the

Bibliographic systems of the Soviet republics: Moldavia and Tajikistan

The article covers the bibliographic systems of the Moldavian and Tajik Soviet Socialist Republics, two of the non-Russian republics of the U.S.S.R. After briefly discussing the two-level system of current national enumerative bibliography found at present in the Soviet Union, it describes the overlap of bibliographic coverage at the two levels, and indicates what is unique and significant about the bibliographic description and indexing activities performed at the republic level. While only two Soviet republics are discussed, the general patterns of bibliographic control observed in Moldavia and Tajikistan are applicable to other Soviet republics as well. The article also discusses the general availability of the bibliographic publications from Moldavia and Tajikistan in library collections outside the U.S.S.R.
