Bibliography of Studies of Eighteenth-Century Journalism and the Periodical Press, 1988-2002 This bibliography surveys scholarship published roughly 1986-2004 on journalism, diverse serials (including almanacs), and the periodical press throughout the Europe and the Americas during the "long eighteenth century," approximately 1660-1820. It is most inclusive for the years 1990-2002, in consequence of my compiling studies of that period for Section 1--"Printing and Bibliographical Studies"--of The Eighteenth Century: A Current Bibliography). It focuses on printed publications, but a few electronic publications have been included. For suggestions and corrections, I am indebted to my friend James E. Tierney. In Spring 2003, I learned of many publications, particularly on German periodicals, from Mr. Harold Braem of Hildesheim, who has provided me with titles in his Historische Zeitungen: Privatarchiv der deutschsprachigen Presse des 17.-19. Jahrhunderts. Others, such as Marie Mercier-Faivre, Eric Francalanza, and Charles A. Knight have called attention to errors and overlooked studies. Of course, I am also indebted to many published bibliographies, most especially those by Diana Dixon published in inter-related annual serials: Journal of Newspaper and Periodical History (London, 1984- 1994), Studies in Newspaper and Periodical History (Westport, CT: Greenwood, 1994-1997), Media History (1999-2002). I have also drawn upon Kim Martin Long's checklists in recent issues of American Periodicals, and various annual bibliographies dedicated to literature in specific languages, the most useful being MHRA's Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature, with its inclusive chapter on periodicals. I apologize for omissions and errors, and ask, for future revisions, that scholars please address corrections and additions to me at
