Bulletin Of Bibliography And Dramatic Index (Volume 9) January, 1916, To October, 1917 (Complete In Eight Numbers)

By Frederick Winthrop Faxon

A meticulous ledger of stage and print. Essential for theatre scholars everywhere. Volume 9 of the Bulletin of Bibliography and Dramatic Index gathers the complete run for January 1916 to October 1917, presented as a disciplined periodical literature collection and a practical bibliography reference guide. The volume functions as a dramatic literature index that maps plays, reviews and book notices across early 20th century books and journals, providing direct pointers for any theatre research resource or student of repertory. Organised for lookup rather than leisurely reading, the entries are arranged to aid verification and to connect stage titles with contemporary criticism and publishing data. As a research tool it makes the otherwise scattered press record discoverable, saving hours for those compiling citations or tracing a play's appearance in periodicals. As a historical bibliography volume it has enduring scholarly value: a primary record for library science history and a ready component for an academic reference tool. Its indexes form the backbone for drama studies anthology work and for projects that trace reception and publication among 1916 1917 publications, and its lists provide starting points for comparative reading across early theatrical periods. Casual readers with an interest in theatrical life will find the period listings unexpectedly vivid; it also appeals to classic-literature collectors who prize completeness and provenance. Useful to scholars and librarians, to catalogue-builders, programme researchers and independent historians, this vintage bibliographic series remains a foundational source of verifiable leads and archival context. Archivists and catalogue teams value the certainty of its citations and the straightforward headings that echo catalogue practice of the era, making it practical for re-use in modern databases and catalogues. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
