The Shakespeare coat of arms
The World Shakespeare Bibliography on CD-ROM 1900-Present will, when
complete, provide annotated entries for all important books, articles, book
reviews, dissertations, theatrical productions, reviews of productions,
audiovisual materials, electronic media, and other scholarly and popular
materials related to Shakespeare and published or produced since 1900.
The scope is international, with coverage extending to 75 languages and
representing every country in North America, South America, and Europe,
and nearly every country in Asia, Africa, and Australasia. The first disk
will include approximately 10,000 works published or produced during
1990-93 (as well as several thousand reviews of books, productions,
films, and audio recordings).
The World Shakespeare Bibliography on CD-ROM covers comprehensively
the following:
- Books, articles, and dissertations entirely about Shakespeare;
- Books, articles, and dissertations that include a substantial
discussion of Shakespeare (e.g., books and dissertations that devote a
chapter - or its equivalent - to Shakespeare);
- Stage productions of Shakespeare's works by a professional or
semiprofessional theatrical group (with production perso nnel and
performers)
- Reviews of books entirely or substantially about Shakespeare;
- Reviews of professional or semiprofessional stage productions;
- Films of productions (with production personnel and performers);
- New stage, musical, dance, and video adaptations (with production
personnel and performers).
In addition, the World Shakespeare Bibliography on CD-ROM offers
selective coverage of
- Books, articles, and dissertations that discuss Shakespeare in a brief
but identifiable section that offers more than a recapitulation of
commonly known facts or interpretations;
- Obituaries and reminiscences of, or tributes to, major Shakespeare
scholars or performers;
- Stage productions by nonprofessional groups;
- Reviews of nonprofessional stage productions;
- Productions and recordings of restaged stage, musical, and dance
adaptations;
- Popular journalistic accounts of Shakespeare interest.
