• BIBLIOGRAPHY AND TEXTUAL CRITICISM
  Paul Webb and William Baker, Northern Illinois University

'As we approach the millennium, it becomes daily more difficult to believe in progress . . . To exclaim that every day in every way things get better and better is not most people's first reaction on taking a look around. There are a few stirring exceptions to this prevailing gloom, however, and surely none is more inspiring than The Year's Work in English Studies . . . For here, as almost nowhere else in the modern world, is a story of uninterrupted progress and improvement . . . a conspectus of the whole history of English literature taken from the academic publications of a single year'.
