THOMAS HARDY An Annotated Bibliography of Writings About Him Compiled and edited by Helmut E. Gerber and W. Eugene Davis By the time of his death in 1928, Thomas Hardy had gained a mea­ sure of national respect tendered to few English authors of the past century. From the perspective of the mid-20th century, it is hard to realize that Hardy was indeed a controversial author whose descrip­ tions of deep human passions aroused the wrath of a large segment of the Victorian literary public. In fact, public disapproval of his novels was so great that by 1897 Hardy gave up fiction and turned instead to poetry. But even at the height of controversy, Hardy had his supporters among critics in the United States and England, as may be seen from the reviews and articles cited in this volume. As Hardy’s reputation has increased steadily over the past one hundred years, critical attention has come to encompass the entire range of his work — the novels, of course, and the tremendous quantity of verse and drama of his “later years.” This volume covers 99 years (1871-1969) of published responses to the writings of Thomas Hardy. 850 pages, 3,153 entries, 5 indexes LC 72-7514/ISBN 0-87580-039-4/525.00 186 A A soci T al s ci L ence A s refe S renc T e too : l th a t’s easy to use, highly current, and multidisciplinary too! Beginning in 1973 it will be a lot easier to search the social sciences journal literature If your library has the new Social Sciences Citation Index™ (SSCI™). SSCI will offer an integrated search system designed to overcome the ambiguous terminology and wide scatter of related articles that used to make social science searches so difficult. It will take advantage of two powerful retrieval methods: Citation Indexing—which utilizes the fact that an article’s reference citations to earlier publications are excellent indicators of the subject of the article, and Permuterm® Indexing—a natural language system that pairs every significant word in an article’s title with every other word in that title to produce extremely specific, two- level indexing entries. With SSCI, all you’ll need to start a search on any subject is the name of a key author In the field of interest or any English word that is descriptive of the subject. There’s no need to master specialized search vocabularies or complex classification schemes. With SSC/ you won’t have to use a half-dozen discipline-oriented Indexes to assure comprehensive searches. A single look-up lets you search the entire output of over 1,000 journals from all the fields relevant to the social sciences including anthropology, community health, demography, economics, educational research, ethnic group studies, geography, history, law, linguistics, management, marketing, political science, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, statistics, and urban planning and development. And because SSCI will be computer-produced, it will be the most current index of its size. That means you’ll find new articles while they’re still new. Send the coupon for more information.
