Joanna Baillie: An Annotated Bibliography

Although I endeavored to view as many of the sources as possible, limits of time and resources prevented me from examining each source listed here, especially those from the nineteenth century. I have placed an asterisk (*) before any source which I have not seen. In regard to reviews of Baillie's plays, I include references gathered from other resources (such as Carhart's biography and A. S. Ward's Bibliography of Literature Reviews in British Periodicals) and list them as reviews based on their date of publication and their proximity to the publication date for one of Baillie's works. In other words, reviews marked with an asterisk have the potential not to be a review of the work under which the review is listed, though this likelihood is small. Baillie scholars may note that several references listed in the appendix of Margaret Carhart's biography are not included in this bibliography. In some cases, Carhart's citations appear, to the best of my knowledge, to be inaccurate; in others, Carhart notes a publication containing only a passing reference to Baillie. As these sources provide little critical evaluation of Baillie, I have omitted them from my bibliography. Throughout this bibliography, I define works as "contemporary" if they were published during Baillie's lifetime, while "modern" sources are those published after Baillie's death in 1851. Abbreviations used in this bibliography include: I would like to thank the following people for their contributions to this project: Harrison T. Meserole for his annotations for the secondary criticism in German; Jeffrey N. Cox and Marjean Purinton for their help in an earlier phase of this project; Catherine Burroughs, Michael Gamer, Michael Eberle-Sinatra, Janice Patten, Julie Aipperspach, and Tricia J. V. Bugajski for reading and commenting on an early draft of the secondary criticism section; Judith Slagle for her willingness to share her research on Baillie's letters; James L. Harner for his always good advice and citation format expertise; and Tom Crochunis for his perpetual council throughout this project.
