The instruction manual: |
Bibliographic code: Section L2
|
Section L2 includes book reviews of specific collections of Ashbery's work. These texts usually are written to coincide with the publication of Ashbery's books, and are essentially judgmental discussions of individual titles. (Please keep in mind, however, that these reviews of specific volumes may include substantive general information about Ashbery, his career and milieu.)
To search for reviews of a particular book, you should choose L2 in the bibliographic code search field and then enter the name of that book in the notes field.
For formal critical writing on Ashbery's work, see Section L1.
Usually, only the first publication of Section L2 items, whether in books or periodicals, is given a complete citation. All known reprints usually are mentioned in the notes field of the citation.
