The English language is full of connotations, denotations, and various nuances that would not have meaning if it were not for the use of grammar and punctuation. These serve as the primary catalyst for helping people far and wide understand our sometimes contradictory language in terms of meaning and application. If there was a reference guide that was appealing with both visual aids and physical etymological evidence, then it would benefit the masses of people who are either trying to learn English the right way or those who has been speaking and writing grammatically below par but just were not aware of it at the present moment.

This ambitious undertaking is designed to acquaint students, teachers, and researchers with reference sources in any branch of English studies, which Marcuse defines as "all those subjects and lines of critical and scholarly inquiry presently pursued by members of university departments of English language and literature.'' Within each of 24 major sections, Marcuse lists and annotates bibliographies, guides, reviews of research, encyclopedias, dictionaries, journals, and reference histories. The annotations and various indexes are models of clarity and usefulness, and cross references are liberally supplied where appropriate. Although cost-conscious librarians will probably consider the several other excellent literary bibliographies in print, such as James L. Harner's Literary Research Guide (Modern Language Assn. of America, 1989), larger academic libraries will want Marcuse's volume.-- Jack Bales, Mary Washington Coll.
