This article follows the pattern set by the semiannual series initiated by the late Constance M. Winchell more than forty years ago and continued by Eugene Sheehy. Because the purpose of the list is to present a selection of recent scholarly and general works, it does not pretend to be either well balanced or comprehensive. A brief roundup of new editions of standard works is provided at the end of the reviews. Code numbers (such, as BE990) have been used to refer to titles in the Guide to ReferenceBooks, llth ed. (Chicago: ALA, 1996).
