Présentation de l'éditeur
Bibliographies there seems no end, yet a century ago the word was an unfamiliar one in the English language. Up to fifty years ago we had examples which are entirely different from those of quite modem workmanship. These early Bibliographies dealt especially with periods of time rather than with subjects, as, for instance, Arber s Term Catalogues, and Lowndes Manual, and A llibone s Dictionary of A uthors, which are scarcely considered Bibliographies at all, as we understand the subject now. To-day we have Bibliographies dealing entirely with a subject, giving in extensive detail a description of all the books relative to that subject for example, Bigmore and Wyman s Bibliography of Printing, and Agassiz s Bibliographia Zoologiae et Geologiae. No book of importance is considered complete now-a-days unless valuable aid is given to the student by the addition of a list of books closely connected with the subject he is studying. He is thus able to pursue his course of reading by reference to these authorities.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the curious and fascinating world of uncompleted books, exploring the diverse reasons why literary works remain unfinished. The author provides a comprehensive survey of fragmented novels, poems, and plays, examining the intentions of the authors, the challenges they encountered, and the impact of external events on their ability to complete their projects. The book sheds light on the creative process and the complexities of authorship, highlighting the challenges of inspiration, self-doubt, and the struggle to render a vision into tangible form. It explores the 'human' side of unfinished works, capturing the poignant stories of authors whose lives or circumstances prevented them from realizing their literary ambitions. Through a diverse selection of case studies, from Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" to Kafka's "The Castle," the book delves into the thematic depth and ideas presented in these incomplete works, offering insights into the artistic choices and narrative arcs that were left unresolved. It examines the significance of unfinished books as historical and literary artifacts, providing a unique perspective on the evolution of literature and the enduring power of fragmented narratives.
