Shakespeare.Compiled by David Bevington.
Arlington Heights, Ill.: AHM Publishing, 1978.
The advantage of this bibliography over its rival by Stanley Wells is its breadth: the book is crammed with far more books, essays, and journal articles. Like the Wells guide, the Bevington bibliography is organized by general topic in the first half (such as Shakespeare’s life and the Principles of Tragedy) and into Shakespeare’s works in the second half. What this bibliography lacks are the short introductory essays that accompany the lists of sources in Shakespeare: A Bibliographical Guide.
