Department of Printed Books British Museum. This volume represents the first extension of the C.B.E.L. into the twentieth century. It aims to record for the period 1900-5o the state of English studies as it existed at the end of 1969. The volume itself has been absorbed into the new edition of the earlier volumes of C.B.E.L. Thirty specialists, working under the general editorship of I. R. Willison, have contributed to the volume. The design, articulation and conventions of New C.B.E.L. have been retained; so has the objective of listing and classifying the whole of English studies as represented by the literature of the British Isles, both in primary and secondary materials, `works by' and `works about'. The New C.B.E.L. supersedes and extends the old, but its purpose and effect remain the same. For the student of English literature and history it is an indispensable guide. It is at once a source of learning and a blueprint for research. .
