Book excerpt: "One of the great American authors of the 20th century; John Steinbeck (1902-1968) continues to be a focus of academic study and interest to readers around the globe. All of the Nobel-prize winner's major works remain in print, and new generations are discovering the power of such novels as Of Mice and Men, East of Eden, and The Grapes; of Wrath, as well as nonfiction works like Travels with Charley, The Log from The Sea of Cortez, and America and Americans. In addition to reissued works by Steinbeck, each year new articles and books examine the themes of his works and his impact on literature." "With such a prolific output, bibliographic resources have become a necessity; and in 1967 Scarecrow Press published the first Steinbeck bibliography, with subsequent volumes in 1974, 1981, and 1998. In this latest edition, Steinbeck scholar and historian Michael J. Meyer has compiled Steinbeck material written or published between 1996 and 2006." "The John Steinbeck Bibliography: 1996-2006 provides thousands of citations covering a broad range of publications, including newspaper articles, full-length critical studies, dissertations, theses, book reviews in English, and missed work from previous volumes, as well as websites and other media. Meyer also cites translations of Steinbeck's works as well as foreign-language books, journals, and reviews. The comprehensive index will help scholars determine which entries are related to various novels, themes, and historical events that are part of the Steinbeck canon. This complete resource for literature scholars and researchers will prove to be as invaluable as the previous volumes."--BOOK JACKET.
