G. Further Listings
Many additional writings on textual criticism and editing are listed in Parts 6 and 7 below. For a
comprehensive record of material relating to British authors, see T.H. Howard-Hill, Shakespearian
Bibliography and Textual Criticism: A Bibliography (1971, 2000); British Bibliography and Textual
Criticism: A Bibliography (1979); British Bibliography and Textual Criticism: A Bibliography (Authors)
(1979); British Literary Bibliography, 1970-1979: A Bibliography (1992); and British Literary
Bibliography, 1980-1989: A Bibliography (1999). (Other useful Shakespeare checklists are Gordon Ross
Smith's "Text Transmission and Emendation" in A Classified Shakespeare Bibliography 1936-1958
[1963], pp.111-51, and James G. McManaway and Jeanne Addison Roberts, A Selective Bibliography of
Shakespeare: Editions, Textual Studies, Commentary [1975].) A sizable checklist that includes some
references to work in classical and biblical textual criticism, as well as the textual criticism of writings in
the modern languages, is part of the "Selected Bibliography" for D.C. Greetham's Textual Scholarship: An
Introduction (1992), pp. 466-503 (which also contains a generous list of "Some Representative Scholarly
Editions," pp. 485-96); in the 1994 printing these lists are expanded to pp. 472-526 and pp. 500-13
respectively. For similar coverage, see also the listings at the ends of chapters in Scholarly Editing: A
Guide to Research (1995), ed. Greetham; and see William Baker and Kenneth Womack, Twentieth-
Century Bibliography and Textual Criticism: An Annotated Bibliography (2000). Listings that deal with
the textual criticism of pre-Renaissance manuscript material are Bruce M. Metzger's Annotated
Bibliography of the Textual Criticism of the New Testament, 1914-1939 (1955), Laurel N. Braswell's
Western Manuscripts from Classical Antiquity to the Renaissance: A Handbook (1981), Leonard E. Boyle's
"Textual Setting" in his Medieval Latin Palaeography: A Bibliographical Introduction (1984),
pp. 286-316, and Thomas P. Halton's Classical Scholarship: An Annotated Bibliography (1986). A
substantial checklist (well indexed by subject) of material in English concerned with post-medieval
writings is Beth Luey (with Kathleen Gorman), Editing Documents and Texts: An Annotated Bibliography
(1990); a more specialized list is Jeremy Lopez's "An Annotated Bibliography of Textual Scholarship in
[non-Shakespearean] Elizabethan Drama, 1973-1998," Research Opportunities in Renaissance Drama 39
(2000): 17-76. For studies of the textual problems in particular authors and works, see David Madden and
Richard Powers, Writers' Revisions: An Annotated Bibliography of Articles and Books about Writers'
Revisions and Their Comments on the Creative Process (1981); D.C. Greetham, "Selected Anglophone
Textual Criticism of Individual Authors or Works," in his Textual Scholarship: An Introduction (1992,
1994), pp. 488-93 [1994]; and Graham Falconer and David H. Sanderson, "Bibliographie des études
génétiques littéraires," Texte 7 (1988): 287-352. An extensive listing of textual work relevant to literature
in the Romance languages appears in Romance Philology 45 (1991): 206-36; for German literature, see
