Subdivisions for the Arts, for Individual Literatures, for Specific Literary Forms Notation from Table 3 is never used alone, but may be used as required by add notes under subdivisions of individual literatures or with base numbers for individual literatures identified by * under 810–890. It is never used for individual literatures that lack instructions to add from Table 3; the number for works of or about such literatures ends with the language notation, e.g., Newari poetry 895.49 Notation from Table 3 may also be used where instructed in 700.4, 791.4, 808–809 Table 3 is divided into three subtables: Table 3A for description, critical appraisal, biography, single or collected works of an individual author Table 3B for description, critical appraisal, biography, collected works of two or more authors; also for rhetoric in specific literary forms Table 3C for additional elements used in number building within Table 3B and as instructed in 700.4, 791.4, 808–809 Turn to Table 3A or 3B for full instructions on building numbers for individual literatures, to 808–809 for other uses of Table 3B and 3C for literature, to 700.4 for uses of Table 3C for the arts, to 791.4 for uses of Table 3C for motion pictures, radio, television See Manual at Table 3 T3A DeweyiDecimaliClassification T3A T3A DeweyTable[i3A.Decima[IndividuliClassificational[Authors T3A *‡Table 3A. Subdivisions for Works by or about Individual Authors Procedures for building numbers for individual authors: 1. Look in the schedule 810–890 to find the base number for the language. The base number may be identified in an add note, e.g., at 821–828 ("add to base number 82") or another note, e.g., at 896 ("896.392 Swahili"); otherwise, it is the number given for the literature, e.g., Dutch-language literature 839.31. If there is a specific literary form, go to step 2; if not, go to the instructions under —8 in Table 3A 2. In Table 3A find the correct subdivision for the literary form, e.g., poetry —1. Add this to the base number, e.g., Swahili poetry 896.3921, Dutch poetry 839.311. If the literary form appears as a subdivision of —8 Miscellaneous writings, go to the instructions under —8 in Table 3A; otherwise, go to step 3 3. Turn back to the appropriate number in the schedule 810–890 to see whether there is an applicable period table. If there is one, go to step 4; if not, complete the class number by inserting a decimal point between the third and fourth digits, e.g., Khmer (Cambodian) poetry by a 20th-century author 895.9321 (Option: Where optional period tables are available for countries that share the same language, either [1] use initial letters to distinguish the separate countries, or [2] use the special number designated for literature of those countries that are not preferred. Then use the optional period tables, e.g., drama in English by a 20th-century New Zealand author NZ822.2 or 828.993322. Full instructions for optional period tables appear under 811–818, 819, 821–828, 828.99, 841–848, 848.99, 861–868, 868.99, 869, 869.899. If the option is used, go to step 4) (Option: Where optional period tables are not available for countries that share the same language, use initial letters to distinguish the separate countries. Then use the standard period table for the language if one is available. If a period table is available, go to step 4) 4. Select the appropriate period number. Add this number to the number already derived; always insert a point after the third digit. The class number is complete (except for William Shakespeare), since standard subdivisions are never added for individual authors, e.g., Spenser’s Faerie Queene 821.3 (821 English poetry + 3 Elizabethan period) See Manual at Table 3A; also at 800: Literary criticism T3A DeweyTable[i3A.Decima[IndividuliClassificational[Authors T3A > —1–8 *‡Specific forms Unless other instructions are given, observe the following table of preference for works combining two or more literary forms, e.g., drama written in verse —2 (not —1): Drama —2 Poetry —1 Class epigrams in verse in —8 Fiction —3 Essays —4 Speeches —5 Letters —6 Miscellaneous writings —8 2 T3A Table[3A.[Individual[Authors T3A A single work of humor or satire, or a collection of humor or satire by an individual author in one form is classed with the form, e.g., satirical fiction —3. Humor or satire without identifiable form is classed according to the instructions at —8, plus notation 07 from the table under —81–89 if there is an applicable period table. A collection of humor or satire by an individual author in more than one form is classed according to the instructions at —8, plus notation 09 from the add table under —81–89 if there is an applicable period table Class comprehensive works (description, critical appraisal, biography, or collected works that cover two or more forms of literature by an individual author) with the form with which the author is chiefly identified, e.g., a biography that discusses the poetry and fiction of a mid-19th-century American writer known primarily as a novelist 813.3 If the author is not chiefly identified with any one form, class comprehensive works as instructed at —8, plus notation 09 from the table under —81–89 if there is an applicable period table, e.g., the collected poetry and fiction of a mid-19th-century American writer not chiefly identified with any one form 818.309 See Manual at Table 3A (Option: Class description, critical appraisal, biography, single and collected works of all individual authors regardless of form in —8) T3A DeweyTable[i3A.Decima[IndividuliClassificational[Authors T3A —1 *‡Poetry Class epigrams in verse in —8 See Manual at T3A—2, T3B—2 vs. T3A—1, T3B—102 T3A DeweyTable[i3A.Decima[IndividuliClassificational[Authors T3A —11–19 *‡Poetry of specific periods Add to base number —1 notation from the period table for the specific literature in 810–890, e.g., earliest period —11; do not add standard subdivisions.
