ABSTRACT
Included here are the handful of bibliographical guides to the historical and contemporary contexts of BR, and the very dated guides to the historical novel as a genre. There is no topical bibliography for the political/social novel of the nineteenth century (except section II, C, 2 of this guide, above). For bibliographies of Dickens criticism, see sec- tion III, C, below. Also see Kazantzis (243), Bernbaum (267), Hillhouse (288), Brown and Daniels (360), Cole and Filson (367), Hollis (394), Maccoby (411), Mather (416), Morris (418), and Thompson (449).
