The instruction manual: |
Bibliographic code: Section A
|
Section A includes books, pamphlets and broadsides by or translated by Ashbery, including fine art editions and collaborations. Section A includes works of poetry, fiction, miscellaneous prose, etc., but excludes writing about art (see Section E) and translations of Ashbery's work that are published bilingually (i.e., in which the original work in English is published simply to accompany the translated text; see Section G). Section A materials are those for which Ashbery is the primary author or primary translator. Ashbery's collections of poetry and prose make up the bulk of Section A.
Generally, only the earliest publication in a particular format of any work available in the ARC archive is given a complete citation in the catalogue. Subsequent printings or editions of books usually are mentioned in the notes field of the entry for the earliest available edition.
