Printed wrappers, small 4to, 21 cm, xii, 139, [5] pp. From the introduction : "The idea for this Handbook grew from the consideration that, out of all the multitude of guides and bibliographies related to institutions, there is none particularly dealing with English for the general reader and the generally interested person - English literature, English language, individual authors and the literary life in this country. The English Association is one of the oldest societies of this kind, founded in 1906, existing to further interest in all aspects of English studies, whether scholastic, academic, or private and simply concerned for the subject (would amateur be still a possibly good word?) . A section has been added on the collections of societies and on specialist libraries. It is obvious that a curtain must be drawn between our modest interest in English studies and the collections relating to English authors and the great public and private libraries of the country holding general collections." Contents: Section I Societies: General Societies; Individual Authors and Literary Figures; Local Groups; Special Fields; Writers' Associations; Section II Libraries and Collections: Public Libraries; Academic Libraries; Specialist and Notable Libraries; Supplement: Some Useful Groups and Associations.
