IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAE60490  \n## Preface\n\nTHE FOLLOWING BIBLIOGRAPHY is for graduate and ad-vanced undergraduate students who desire a convenient guide toscholarship in the broader and more important areas of Englishliterature and culture before 1525.The listing is necessarily se-lective,but every effort has been made to provide ample coverageof the major works and topics and adequate representation ofminor onesAnglo-Latin and Anglo-French writings,which areno less part of the literary product of England during this periodthan those in English,are given suitable recognition.Chaucer,the subject of a full bibliography in this series,is representedsimply by a corporal's guard of major studies,many of which arerelevant to the work of other writers of the period.The bulk ofthe items reflect American and British scholarship and criticismof the last thirty years or so.Some important studies in Frenchand German are included,however,as well as Continental studieswritten in English.Except for a few important items the cut-offdate is 1965.  \nIn order to keep this bibliography to a practical size,it hasbeen necessary to omit a number of references:unpublished dis-sertations,literary histories (except for a few),most bibliographiesof bibliography,short notes and explications (except when theycontain important data),and older biographical studies that havebeen superseded by later work.Hence many good books,and evenmore good articles,have had to be neglected.To these victims ofthe imperatives of limits,I tender apologies;users of this bibliog-raphy will,I hope,hasten to repair my wrongs in the margins.  \nIn general,the compiler has steered a middle course betweenthe brief lists of references included in the average textbooks andthe long professional bibliography in which significant items areoften lost in the sheer number of references given.This bibliog-raphy should materially assist the student in his effort to survey  \nPREFACE  \na topic,write reports and term papers,prepare for examinations,and do independent reading.Attention is called to four featuresintended to enhance its utility.  \n(1)Extra margin on each page permits listing of library call-  \nnumbers of often-used items.  \n(2)Space at the bottom of every page permits inclusion ofadditional entries,and blank pages for notes follow thefinal entry.  \n(3)An index of medieval authors and anonymous writings,and an index of modern authors follow the bibliographyproper.  \n(4)The Index and cross-reference numbers direct the readerto the page and position-on-the-page of the desired entry.Thus,in an entry such as  \nOROsiUS,Paulus.King Alfred's Orosius,ed.Henry Sweet,EETS 79,London,1883(Old English and Latin).Tr.in Pauli [23.14].  \nthe number 23.14 indicates that the entry referred to ison page 23,and is the 14th item on the page.Both pagenumbers and individual entry numbers are conspicuousin size and position so that the process of finding entriesis fast as well as simple.  \nAlthough the order of entry is usually alphabetical,by authoror title,the nature of the material sometimes makes other arrange-ments more convenient.Thus,when critical items on a particularwork are few,they are placed directly after the work itself;Eng-lish
