Subject: World Shakespeare Bibliography Online
The World Shakespeare Bibliography Online
(http://www.worldshakesbib.org) has just been updated. Version 20064
includes more than 110,000 entries from 1962-2006.
The Modern Language Association has announced that the World Shakespeare
Bibliography Online has received Honorable Mention for the MLA Prize for
a Distinguished Bibliography for his work on World Shakespeare
Bibliography Online.
The Selection Committee's citation reads:
"The World Shakespeare Bibliography Online (1963-2006) meets the
challenge of equipping scholars with a comprehensive record of articles,
books, dissertations, reviews, productions, films, audio materials, and
software relating to the English writer, whose works continue to be
performed, filmed, and written about on a global stage. Begun in 1950
and now containing over 106,000 annotated entries, the WSB represents
publications in 118 languages. The WSBO brilliantly exploits the unique
advantages offered by the electronic medium, thereby appealing to
humanities computing scholars. It is the premier searchable electronic
database on Shakespeare-related materials available to scholars
world-wide. Long an essential tool for anyone engaged in research on
Shakespeare and the early modern world, it is now also honored as an
outstanding electronic reference work."
