General Studies of Charles Dickens and His Writings and Collected Editions of His Works

The internationally acclaimed Annotated Bibliography of Charles Dickens by Professor Duane DeVries. Vol 4, Part 1

“"This mammoth, erudite, comprehensive enterprise...It is a remarkable feat to have compiled such a monumental work....In order to appreciate the value of the work, reserarchers should move beyond the taxonomy, and delve into the astute, insightful, annotations. DeVries is able to extract expertly the essence of a particular article, book, and doctoral dissertation, and thus save the scholar inordinate amounts of time..."an indispensable, wide-ranging, diligently-reseached, authoritative resource that features (virtually) all known English-language general studies of Dickens from 1836 to 2018." - Professor Leon Litvack, The Queen's University of Belfast, Dickens Quarterly.”

"A master-work of bibliography, one that ranks with the greatest bibliographies in any field we are cognizant of." - Patrick McCarthy, The Dickens Forum, July 2011.

"Dickens studies has not seen an undertaking on this scale since the appearance seven years ago of the first volume of annotated bibliographies of general studies of Dickens and his works."

"Each weighty tome [of this work] represents the fruits of dogged persistence, ingenuity and intelligent planning, without which no attempt to impose order on the sprawling territory would have succeeded."- David Paroissien, Dickens Quarterly, September 2011.
