ENGLISH STUDIES 1922 Edited for The English Association BY SIR SIDNEY LEE and F. S. BOAS OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON: HUMPHREY MILFORD PREFACE THIS volume, in accordance with the modified plan mentioned in the preface to the previous issue, covers the publications of the calendar year 1922. Hence in the footnotes, except in some special cases, the date of publication is omitted. These footnotes, by a new arrangement in this volume, contain the titles of books, while those of articles are given in the text. Otherwise the same general scheme has been followed as in the two previous issues. A new feature is a bibliographical chapter including some account of the chief book-sales in 1922. It is a source of satisfaction to the Association that so large a number of Libraries have become subscribers to The Year's Work in English Studies. Advantage was taken of the recent Anglo-American Conference of Professors of English at Columbia University, New York, to make arrangements which will facilitate the work of the contributors in dealing with articles in American academic publications. It will be helpful if publishers in Great Britain and on the Continent will forward copies of books and periodicals as soon as they appear (with prices) to the Secretary of The English Association (4 Buckingham Gate, London, S.W.).
