While the academic world devoted to literary study has been absorbed with new and distinct forms of literary criticism, bibliography has received scant attention--much less than in former times when it was understood as more than just an aid to research. Enormous changes have taken place in enumerative bibliography over the past thirty years, especially with the widespread use of computers, but these changes have gone unrecognized as bibliography has gone unappreciated. This work is a collection of essays concentrating exclusively on bibliography and its uses in the academic world, especially in literature, folklore, language, and linguistics. The book begins with a discussion of what bibliography is, what it does, and how to create the optimum bibliography. Other subjects include bibliography and postcolonialism, critical theory and bibliography in cross-disciplinary environments, issues and problems with tools for feminist and women's studies scholars in literature, strategies for the incorporation of pluridisciplinary work, bibliographical databases and databased bibliographies, and ideas for the future of the MLA International Bibliography.

This international bibliography registers 10,000 paremiological and phraseological publications from around the world that have appeared during the past two centuries. Every bibliographical reference is followed by one to three lines of alphabetically arranged key-words (names, subjects, titles, and texts of individual proverbs and phrases). At the end of the volume all key-words are listed in a name, subject, and proverb index. The bibliography represents an invaluable research tool for such scholarly fields as anthropology, art history, communication, cultural studies, ethnography, folklore, gender studies, history, linguistics, literature, philology, philosophy, religion, psychology, sociology, and others.All 10,000 publications are part of the International Proverb Archives which Wolfgang Mieder has built during the past four decades at the University of Vermont in Burlington (USA).The bibliography is a truly international compendium that includes publications in numerous languages covering many scholarly disciplines. Anybody interested in formulaic language in its many facets both from a diachronic and synchronic point of view will find the 10,000 publications to be a treasure trove of information.
