An unfortunate consequence of the incredible explosion in the number of social science journals since the 1960s is that the literature has become highly balkanized. Today articles on politics are routinely published in so many disciplines that it has become almost impossible for scholars to trace major trends outside of their own subfields. Nor can Ph.D. candidates ensure they have mastered the literature, as it is difficult even to discover much of what has been published. This book addresses these problems by providing a much-needed general guide to important journal articles about politics. ... Read more

Product Description
The Restoration was a period surprisingly rich in fiction, and the years between 1660 and 1700 witnessed the decline of the epic and the birth of the English novel. Some works, such as John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, have been widely read for centuries. But numerous others have been forgotten, including a number of criminal biographies, Utopian novels, science fiction voyages, and heroic romances. This bibliography establishes a list of Restoration novels and provides annotated entries for critical studies of them. Also included are entries for anthologies, bibliographies, and general contextual works, along with extensive indexes. With the exception of Bunyan and Aphra Behn, most of the novelists of this period have received relatively little attention. Thus, this book will be a valuable guide for scholars conducting research in this growing area of interest. ... Read more
