Some species have adapted to climate change while others, especially recent reprints from earlier epochs, have no more value than desiccated fish. In recent years the “four Gs” of reference publishers (Gale, Greenwood, Garland, and G. K. Hall) have been superseded by an almost entirely new generation of presses (Taylor & Francis, Rowman & Littlefield, Gale Cengage, and Cambridge). Many reference tools germane to this chapter, moreover, appear both in print and online and are increasingly focused on issues of race, ethnicity, and gender.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2017 1","pages":"443 - 453"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46837441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bibliography “The Bibliography of English Language Scholarship on Ezra Pound,” assembled and edited by Archie Henderson and Roxana Preda, is an ongoing project of the Ezra Pound Society (ezrapoundsociety.org/index.php/english-language-scholarship-on-ezra -pound/the-bibliographic-project). The bibliography aims to serve as a record of Pound’s books and music as well as secondary sources on Pound from 1986 to the present, arranged for the most part in five-year increments (with the most recent years listed individually). The bibliography for 2017 lists, among other categories of entries, two monographs on Pound, 12 dissertations, 1 collective volume, 24 volumes including material on or by Pound, and 75 articles in journals and collections. This total is roughly comparable to the research output for 2016, with a slight drop-off in periodical contributions but still a substantial number.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2017 1","pages":"147 - 161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41943663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sheer volume of quality scholarship appearing this year is truly remarkable. Among the many full-length studies and essay collections are Thoreau: A Life, the new definitive biography by Laura Dassow Walls; a special issue of Nineteenth-Century Prose edited by Richard J. Schneider; Henry David Thoreau in Context, edited by James S. Finley; and The Boatman: Henry David Thoreau’s River Years, an important contribution to our understanding of Thoreau’s science by Robert M. Thorson. Although outdone by his younger friend, Emerson receives strong contributions from Roger Thompson on rhetoric and John T. Lysaker on philosophy. After a few sleepy years, Transcendentalism as a movement experiences renewed attention with four full-length studies and numerous book chapters and articles. Such unfairly neglected individuals as Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Henry James Sr., and Jones Very receive fresh considerations as well.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2017 1","pages":"26 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48061347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Faulkner","authors":"Taylor Hagood","doi":"10.1215/00659142-4383846","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1215/00659142-4383846","url":null,"abstract":"After a relatively down year of William Faulkner scholarship last year, 2017 sees several books and an impressive array of articles. The foremost topic of discussion is media studies, with a particular emphasis on film and screenwriting. Writing about media, especially screenplays, requires new hermeneutical approaches, which in turn serve to bring less-discussed Faulkner works into new light, including the hybrid, screenplay-influenced Requiem for a Nun and the novel later adapted to film, The Reivers. The exploration of media is also part of a larger effort in many of the publications this year to examine the details of Faulkner’s production of texts, literally the venues in which he published, the audiences he targeted, and other workaday aspects of his career, all of which mark a departure from the long-standing tradition of viewing Faulkner as simply a writer of genius largely apart from the realities of a writing career. In such work may be discerned also a growing interest in the role of nonhuman animals and things in Faulkner’s career and within the fictional and poetic worlds he created. Also noteworthy is a selection of essays that consider theorists less often applied to Faulkner, such as René Girard, Ronald David Laing, and Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2017 1","pages":"163 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43318443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
