ABSTRACT

They say that students, teachers and academics are just the reproductive system of libraries – after all, each one recreates a little library. If this is true, then the DNA of libraries is encoded in bibliographies. A bibliography serves two purposes: to show where the ideas you have been reading about came from and to provide a list of further things to read. This bibliography aims mainly to serve the second of these purposes (though all the critical works I have cited are mentioned here). It offers a ‘first port of call’ for what to read next.
