ENG 202: Writing and Research in English

Varying editions – there are three variants of the same series of this work in our library; this can be confusing but the source can still be useful! The unique purposes of these different series are as follows:

• MSSU Reference Z1224.C58 ---New Revision Series, 184 volumes – this series provides completely updated information on authors listed in previously published volumes of Contemporary Authors original series; any sketches from the original set needing significant updating were corrected and published in this series.

• MSSU Reference Z1224 .C6 ---Contemporary Authors (original),  278 volumes – tens of thousands of writers (many of whom are usually overlooked and hard to find) in bio-bibliographical sketches; each new volume, as a new volume is compiled every year or so, contains full-length sketches on authors not previously listed in the series.

• MSSU Reference Z1224 .C62 ---Permanent Series, 2 volumes – the bio-bibliographical sketches of authors who are deceased or who are no longer writing new works; their blurbs have been transferred into this permanent collection, after being carefully revised, and will no longer appear in the other, constantly revised edition.
