ABELL is widely regarded as one of the most important bibliographical sources for English studies, and an indispensable tool for scholars in this field.
The first volume -- reporting items published in 1920 -- was published in 1921, and the most recent volume covers the report year 2006.
The volumes are compiled by a worldwide team of volunteer contributors, and edited by teams based both in Cambridge, England, and in Massachusetts, USA.
Vol. 81 (reporting material published in the year 2006) was published in October
2007 and is available in print (ISBN 978-1-905981-53-3; ISSN 0066-3786) from Maney
Publishing and on CD-ROM and online from Chadwyck-Healey
Ltd.
The Bibliography aims to list annually all scholarly articles, books and reviews concerning English language and literature and related topics published anywhere in the world, and in any language. (Education and pedagogical subjects, and the medical application of linguistics, are excluded.)
The list of subjects covered includes: Drama; Poetry; Fiction; Biography; Literary Theory; Film; Bibliography; Traditional Culture; Onomastics; Lexicography; Dialectology.
Format
Annual printed volumes appear each autumn and are published on behalf of the MHRA by Maney Publishing.
A cumulative database version of the complete Bibliography -- updated annually -- is available on CD-ROM from Chadwyck-Healey. This now includes more than 880,000 records.
ABELL is also available online from the same publisher, both in its own right, and as a part of the Literature Online service which includes links from the bibliographic records to the full text of the articles or reviews wherever possible. The Editors supply monthly updates for this service.
