PREFACE The MLA Bibliography Scope and Overlap Committee was formed as an ad hoc committee of the Association of College and Research Libraries at the Midwinter Meeting of the American Library Association in 1991. The committee was formed in response to a request from the Modern Language Association for librarians' assistance in examining the coverage and overlap between the MLA International Bibliography and other reference tools. Elaine A. Franco served as committee chair and Danielle Uchitelle served as the Modern Language Association liaison for the duration of the committee, 1991-1994. The specific charge of the MLA Bibliography Scope and Overlap Committee was: "To identify subject areas in which the MLA Bibliography replicates bibliographic coverage provided by other, similar reference sources, and to identify those sources, as well as to identify subject areas within the defined scope of the MLA Bibliography which are not being adequately covered, either within the Bibliography or elsewhere. The information provided by this analysis process will be used by the Modern Language Association to help ensure an allocation of bibliographic resources that will best serve the needs of humanities scholars in the coming years." The twenty papers comprising this report were prepared by members of the MLA Bibliography Scope and Overlap Committee between 1991 and 1994. The paperswere submitted to the Modern Language Association for consideration by the Advisory Committee to the MLA International Bibliography. Elaine A.

Schappert Luzerne County Community College To determine how well the MLA International Bibliography covers the scholarly work done in eighteenth century drama, the first step was to identify other bibliographies covering the same period and comparing them. The work most similar to the MLA is the Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature, published by the Modern Humanities Research Association. These two works have similar goals, the main differences seem to be that they choose a list list of journals to cover,and that the MLA is more current. Comparison between this two works is a good indicator of how the selection of journals effects coverage of eighteenth century drama. At this stage, it's too early to generalize about the implications differences in coverage based on the selection of journals,. Another obvious choice for comparison is the drama section of The Eighteenth Century; A Current Bibliography, published by AMS Press. Obvious maybe, but this is sort of a problematic choice, because, although it attempts a comprehensive look scholarship on the eighteenth century, with encapsulated reviews, this level of comprehensiveness has cause the bibliography to have approximately a six-year lag in publication. Still, it 2. is sort of a benchmark for eighteenth century studies. Another work which tries to sum up scholarship in the eighteenth century on an annual basis as "Recent Studies in Restoration and 18th Century Literature" in the summer issue of SEL 1600-1800. Since bibliographic essay is prepared by a different individual, the question of representation from year to year in this publication may be raised. The same criticism can be made of the appropriate sections of Year'sWork in English Studies, whose contributors also change annually. A curious work is the Abstracts of English Studies, curious in that it finds some items not found in other works, but missing much of what is going on in the field. The primary source of confusion is not that the bibliography is extremely selective, but that the criteria for selection are entirely unclear. The new series of Restoration and Eighteenth Century Theatre Research brings back a work which is exclusively devoted to providing access to research in 18th century drama. Other sources are the bibliography is each issue of Restoration: Studies in English Literary Culture, 1660-1700, the International Bibliography of Theatre. and the listing of new articles and books in the Johnsonian Newsletter. The above works, between them, provide a map of the landscape of research in eighteenth century studies, including drama. By analyzing how they compare to the MLA, one should get a good sense of how their selection criteria make them into different products. The second approach to the question of coverage is to take a series of highly regarded works in the field, published recently and, by checking 3 their bibliographies, determine to what percentages of the articles could have been found only by using one of the indexes, MLA in particular. Articles cited in the bibliography which dealt with the eighteenth century would be the only ones examined, those dealing with methodological/ critical issues would be ignored. The selection of the authors is difficult, because somewhat arbitrary, but the ones, selected were Robert D. Hume, because he is a very prolific author in the field, Paul J. Korshin, because he did editorial work for both ECCB and a bibliographic essay for the summer issue of SEL, Howard D. Weinbrot.I'm in the process of selecting two more books, the criteria being that they will be less traditional studies, possibly with a different methodological focus, such as one of the recent feminist studies of Restoration drama. The same citation analysis of bibliographies is being done

  • Reference Guide for the History of English
    Reference Guide for the History of English Raymond Hickey English Linguistics Institute for Anglophone Studies University of Duisburg and Essen January 2012 Some tips when using the Reference Guide: 1) To go to a certain section of the guide, press Ctrl-F and enter the name of the section. Alternatively, you can search for an author or the title of a book. 2) Remember that, for reasons of size, the reference guide only includes books. However, there are some subjects for which whole books are not readily available but only articles. In this case, you can come to me for a consultation or of course, you can search yourself. If you are looking for articles on a subject then one way to find some would be to look at a standard book on the (larger) subject area and then consult the bibliography at the back of the book., To find specific contents in a book use the table of contents and also the index at the back which always offers more detailed information. If you are looking for chapters on a subject then an edited volume is the most likely place to find what you need. This is particularly true for the history of English. 3) When you are starting a topic in linguistics the best thing to do is to consult a general introduction (usually obvious from the title) or a collection of essays on the subject, often called a ‘handbook’. There you will find articles on the subareas of the topic in question, e.g. a handbook on varieties of English will contain articles on individual varieties, a handbook on language acquisition will contain information on various aspects of this topic.

  • Leeds Studies in English
    Leeds Studies in English New Series XLII 2011 Edited by Alaric Hall Editorial assistants Helen Price and Victoria Cooper Leeds Studies in English <www.leeds.ac.uk/lse> School of English University of Leeds 2011 Reviews Dinah Hazell, Poverty in Late Middle English Literature: The ‘Meene’ and the ‘Riche’. Dublin Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Literature, 2. Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2009. 234 pp. ISBN 978-1-84682-1155-4. £50.00. Dinah Hazell’s book provides a wide-ranging survey of representations of poverty in late fourteenth-century literature. It is structured by four topics or categories: ‘Aristocratic’, ‘Urban’, ‘Rural’, and ‘Apostolic’ poverty. Each section provides the reader with a brief ‘socioeconomic overview’ and a selection of descriptions of the place of poverty in a variety of texts. The breadth of texts discussed is unusual and interesting, and includes work on diverse genres. The section on ‘Aristocratic’ Poverty includes discussions of five Middle English ro- mances: Ywain and Gawain; Sir Amadace; Sir Cleges; Sir Launfal; and Sir Orfeo. The chapter on ‘Urban’ poverty contains some brief discussion of Havelok; ‘London Lickpenny’; Hoccleve’s Regiment of Princes; Chaucer’s Prioress’s Tale; and The Simonie. The section on ‘Rural’ poverty is dedicated to more substantial discussions of Chaucer (again), in the form of the Clerk’s and Nun’s Priest’s Tales, and of the various Shepherds’ Plays in the York, Chester, Coventry and Towneley cycles (with a natural emphasis on the Towneley Prima and Secunda Pastorum). The chapter on ‘Apostolic’ poverty is largely focused on anticlerical and antifraternal themes, such as those in Gower’s Vox Clamantis, The Land of Cockaygne, and Pierce the Ploughman’s Crede.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE FITTING FROM HALICZANY IN THE CONTEXT OF OTHER EARLY MEDIEVAL FINDS FROM SELECTED AREAS OF THE WESTERN SLAVIC TERRITORIES1 ZBIGNIEW ROBAK The paper presents some remarks on the chronology and spatial distribution of the late avar, carolingian, and great Moravian finds in selected areas of the Western Slavic Territories. The main subject of this paper is to analyse a particular item found in haliczany, chełm county in Poland. The fitting fromh aliczany has already been subjected to typological and chronological analyses twice. in each case, however, it led the authors to entirelly different conclusions and since the space for its interpretation remains broad, it requires some clarification. The purpose of the study is to indicate possible origins of the fitting fromh aliczany in terms of both typology and the route it travelled to finally reach the areas of today eastern Poland. There are two competing explanations that are examined in this paper concerning either carolingian or nomadic origins of the item in question. in the methodological dimension the paper provides arguments in favour of considering even single finds in a context broader than only stylistic speculations, including also cultural, historical, and when possible also ‘geopolitical’ determinants. key words: early Middle ages, central europe, late avar culture, carolingian culture, Slavic culture.

Introduction The Western Slavs once occupied the territory more or less corresponding to the former state of East Germany that is the area roughly between the Oder-Neisse and Elbe-Saale rivers. They are usually called the Polabian Slavs or Wends. They were the westernmost group of the Western Slavs (which includes the Czechs, Poles and Slovaks) who settled the region between the sixth and seventh centu­ ries. 1 The Polabian Slavs are usually divided into three branches: the Sorbs, who occupied roughly the southern part ofthe former East Germany; the Veleti in the northeast of the region; and the Obodrites in the northwest.2 Most of the Polabian Slavs were germanised in the course of time, and only a small Sorbian minority in southeastern Germany retains its linguistic and cultural identity until the present day.' 1 Dvomik 1974:14; and Gimbutas 1971:124-128; and towmianski 1967:98, 221; and Strzelczyk 1976:139-154.

  • 1. Historical Setting
    Copyrighted Material 1. HISTORICAL SETTING 1.1. In search of roots. Human collectives have always strived to discover their origins. Held fast by linguistic, tribal, or religious bonds, societies are wont to test the strength of their union by examining its age and provenience. In this quest for a genealogy the Slavs find them- selves in a less fortunate position than many other members of the Indo-European family of languages. Speakers of Greek and the Romance languages have the satisfaction of being heir to the glorious traditions of ancient Greece and Rome. The Celtic and Germanic peoples know much about their past from what was written about them by classical authors and from their own tales and legends. The Slavs, by contrast, did not enter the records of history until the sixth century a.d. Their early fates are veiled by the silence of their neighbors, the mute- ness of their own oral tradition, and the ambiguity of such nonverbal sources of information as archaeology, anthropology, or paleobotany. Yet, the darkness of prehistory has not inhibited the Slavs in their search for roots. Schol- ars have fanned the few flickers of evidence hoping to illumine the past and reveal some heretofore hidden contours and shapes. How useful a search of this kind may be is best il- lustrated by the ingenious investigations of the Polish botanist Józef Rostafin¿ski. Having no- ticed that Slavic lacked a native term for beech (Fagus silvatica) and for several other plants, Rostafin¿ski assumed that there was a correlation between the easterly extension of the beech and the western limit of prehistoric Slavic settlements and concluded that the original home- land of the Slavs was located in the basin of the upper and middle Dnieper.1 Such insights, however, are few and far between.

De slaviske folks oprindelse, hjemland, udbredelse og sprog samt vandringen mod vest Christian Nissen Spangshus Holstebro 2018 De slaviske folks oprindelse, hjemland, udbredelse og sprog samt vandringen mod vest af Christian Nissen Spangshus 2.udgave (Offentliggøres online med forbehold for senere ændringer eller tilføjelser) (Kildeforkortelser, der er understreget, henviser til den alfabetisk opstillede kildefortegnelse) Urhjemmet: Det antages at de slaviske folks ”urhjem” i Europa har ligget mellem floderne (ukrainske og danske navneformer) : Pryp’jat’ (Pripjat), Dnister (Dnjestr) og Dnipro (Dnjepr), dvs. i det nuværende Ukraine. De slaviske folk bredte sig siden mod nord, syd og øst (østslaverne), mod sydøst (sydslaverne) og vest (vestslaverne). Sproget: De slaviske sprog hører til den indoeuropæiske sprogæt, der udover de fleste europæiske sprog også omfatter flere indiske sprog og iranske sprog. Det oprindeligt fælles urslaviske sprog splittedes i 3 grene: øst- , syd- og vestslavisk. De østslaviske sprog kom til omfatte russisk, hviderussisk og ukrainsk. De sydslaviske sprog er bulgarsk, serbisk, kroatisk (el.serbokroatisk), slovensk og makedonsk. De vestslaviske sprog opdeles også i tre grene. Den første, også kaldet de lechitiske sprog, omfatter polsk, polabisk (uddødt) og pomoranske sprog (herunder kaszubisk, der stadig tales, samt slovinsk og flere andre uddøde sprog). Den anden gren omfatter øvresorbisk og nedersorbisk. Den tredje gren omfatter tjekkisk og slovakisk. I skriftsproget betjener alle østslaviske sprog samt bulgarsk, serbisk og makedonsk sig af det kyrilliske alfabet, mens de øvrige, herunder alle vestslaviske sprog, bruger det latinske alfabet.
