Studies of Authorship in the Long 18th Century, c. 1987-2009 This bibliography covers that fuzzy intellectual focus called "authorship" and also the more distinct categories of attribution, book reviews, collaborations and conflicts between authors, composition, copyright and literary property, fraudulent practices, plagiarism, profits, patronage, relations with publishers, revision, and subscriptions. Even the "distinct categories" gave me some trouble, for I wished to include studies of copyright and subscriptions that had a focus on the author (composer in some cases) rather than the publisher. I have a lengthy bibliography of "publishers and publishing" that I'm preparing for BIBSITE, and I wish to place studies that are more concerned with publishers under that file. I exclude those studies of topics like subscription that are focused on readers (such as Donald D. Eddy and J. D. Fleeman's "A Preliminary Handlist of Books to which Dr. Samuel Johnson Subscribed," Studies in Bibliography, 46 [1993], 187-221), or on the work itself or its genre (such as Elisabel Larriba's analysis of 8500 subscribers to 18 periodicals in Le Public de la presse en Espagne à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, 1781- 1808 [Paris: Champion, 1998]). I have included some biographical studies that stress authorship as a trade, there being too many biographies to include them all. Like editions of correspondence (often the best source on authorship but also largely omitted here), biographies are not likely to be overlooked by scholars. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004) is immensely valuable, as for its details on authors' finances. Some material relevant to writing as a profession I have directed to a bibliography of studies of censorship and libel or to another on journalism. Also, since I posted at the end of 1999 a bibliography of studies of women authors, publishers, and readers (at Kevin Berland‘s C18-L website), I have not tried hard to cover studies of women authors as authors prior to 1998. A fair sampling of reviews are offered for many of the books listed, and dissertations are included. This list is over twice as long as its first version on BibSite. A still earlier and shorter version of the bibliography appeared in The East-Central Intelligencer, n.s. 18, no. 2 (May 2004), 69-93 (now entitled The Eighteenth-Century Intelligencer). Like the earlier version, this revision is limited to major Western European (& American) languages, and I apologize for mistakes and orthographic errors involving foreign titles. In citing the reviews of books, I have often employed the MLA International Bibliography's abbreviations of common journals (but I've written those out in listing articles). In imprints, I've clipped mention of "Cranbury, NJ: Associated U. Presses" from titles from Delaware and others in the group. My list is drawn from my own library work and searching through the dozen or so major annual bibliographies, acknowledged in my former bibliographies. In checking for items overlooked, I found much I had missed in ABELL, ECCB: Eighteenth Century Current Bibliography, the MLA bibliography, The Scriblerian, OCLC‘s WorldCat, and Eleanor Shevlin‘s introduction to The History of the Book in the West, Vol. 3: 1700-1800 (Farnham: Ashgate, 2010). But there is a great deal in my list that won‘t be found in relying on any two or three of these other sources. In a future revision I will gratefully add citations for omitted publications brought to my attention. James E.

Deacon explains clearly how "Aguilar Pinal has single-handedly revolutionized the study of the culture of eighteenth-century Spain" with his "magnificent achievement." Aguilar lists for Peninsular Spain and the Canary and Alearic Islands, between 1700 and 1808, all compositions, both in manuscript and publication, working from an extensive library search as well as from secondary literature. Working his way author by author, the compiler has compiled along with print materials manuscript verse with first-lines, translations with originals, and marginalia, even noting locations for rare printings. The resulting work combines most of the goals of the ESTC and the Index of English Literary Manuscripts.] Aguilar Piñal, Francisco. Bibliografia de autores españoles del siglo XVIII.
