The market for new reference works this year resembles the earth after the water has evaporated. Some species have adapted to climate change while others, especially recent reprints from earlier epochs, have no more value than desiccated fish. In recent years the “four Gs” of reference publishers (Gale, Greenwood, Garland, and G. K. Hall) have been superseded by an almost entirely new generation of presses (Taylor & Francis, Rowman & Littlefield, Gale Cengage, and Cambridge). Many reference tools germane to this chapter, moreover, appear both in print and online and are increasingly focused on issues of race, ethnicity, and gender.
今年的新参考书市场就像蒸发了水的地球。一些物种已经适应了气候变化,而另一些物种,尤其是最近从更早的时代重印出来的物种,没有比干瘪的鱼更有价值的了。近年来,参考出版社的“四个g”(Gale、Greenwood、Garland和G. K. Hall)已经被几乎全新一代的出版社(Taylor & Francis、Rowman & Littlefield、Gale Cengage和Cambridge)所取代。此外,许多与本章相关的参考工具出现在印刷品和网上,并且越来越多地关注种族、民族和性别问题。

a. Bibliography “The Bibliography of English Language Scholarship on Ezra Pound,” assembled and edited by Archie Henderson and Roxana Preda, is an ongoing project of the Ezra Pound Society (ezrapoundsociety.org/index.php/english-language-scholarship-on-ezra -pound/the-bibliographic-project). The bibliography aims to serve as a record of Pound’s books and music as well as secondary sources on Pound from 1986 to the present, arranged for the most part in five-year increments (with the most recent years listed individually). The bibliography for 2017 lists, among other categories of entries, two monographs on Pound, 12 dissertations, 1 collective volume, 24 volumes including material on or by Pound, and 75 articles in journals and collections. This total is roughly comparable to the research output for 2016, with a slight drop-off in periodical contributions but still a substantial number.

The big news for 2017 is the Thoreau Bicentennial. The sheer volume of quality scholarship appearing this year is truly remarkable. Among the many full-length studies and essay collections are Thoreau: A Life, the new definitive biography by Laura Dassow Walls; a special issue of Nineteenth-Century Prose edited by Richard J. Schneider; Henry David Thoreau in Context, edited by James S. Finley; and The Boatman: Henry David Thoreau’s River Years, an important contribution to our understanding of Thoreau’s science by Robert M. Thorson. Although outdone by his younger friend, Emerson receives strong contributions from Roger Thompson on rhetoric and John T. Lysaker on philosophy. After a few sleepy years, Transcendentalism as a movement experiences renewed attention with four full-length studies and numerous book chapters and articles. Such unfairly neglected individuals as Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Henry James Sr., and Jones Very receive fresh considerations as well.
2017年的大新闻是梭罗诞辰200周年。今年出现的高质量奖学金的数量确实令人瞩目。在许多长篇研究和散文集中,有劳拉·达索·沃尔斯的最新权威传记《梭罗:一生》;Richard J. Schneider编辑的《19世纪散文》特刊;《亨利·大卫·梭罗的语境》,詹姆斯·s·芬利编辑;以及《船夫:亨利·大卫·梭罗的河流岁月》,这是罗伯特·m·梭森对我们理解梭罗科学的重要贡献。尽管爱默生在修辞学方面得到了罗杰·汤普森和约翰·t·莱萨克的大力支持,但他的年轻朋友比他更胜一筹。在沉寂了几年之后,先验主义作为一个运动,通过四篇长篇研究和大量的书籍章节和文章,重新获得了关注。像伊丽莎白·帕尔默·皮博迪、老亨利·詹姆斯和琼斯·佩里这样被不公平地忽视的人也得到了新的关注。

Taylor Hagood
After a relatively down year of William Faulkner scholarship last year, 2017 sees several books and an impressive array of articles. The foremost topic of discussion is media studies, with a particular emphasis on film and screenwriting. Writing about media, especially screenplays, requires new hermeneutical approaches, which in turn serve to bring less-discussed Faulkner works into new light, including the hybrid, screenplay-influenced Requiem for a Nun and the novel later adapted to film, The Reivers. The exploration of media is also part of a larger effort in many of the publications this year to examine the details of Faulkner’s production of texts, literally the venues in which he published, the audiences he targeted, and other workaday aspects of his career, all of which mark a departure from the long-standing tradition of viewing Faulkner as simply a writer of genius largely apart from the realities of a writing career. In such work may be discerned also a growing interest in the role of nonhuman animals and things in Faulkner’s career and within the fictional and poetic worlds he created. Also noteworthy is a selection of essays that consider theorists less often applied to Faulkner, such as René Girard, Ronald David Laing, and Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht.
