Title: Ottemiller's index to plays in collections
Description: As the standard location tool for full-length plays published in anthologies in England and the United States, Ottemiller's Index to Plays in Collections has undergone seven previous editions, the latest in 1988, which covered 1900 through 1985. Representing the largest expansion between editions, Denise L. Montgomery has added collections published in the English-speaking world through 2000, resulting in more than 3,500 new plays and 2,300 new authors. Other features of this edition include: more works by women, African American, Hispanic-American, and Asian-American playwrights; more works by playwrights from Canada, Ireland, Australia, the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Singapore, China, and other parts of Asia; an anthology title index; an appendix that identifies female authors; and appendixes that identify authors by country, race, sexual orientation, and ethnicity. Montgomery conducted exhaustive research to add more birth dates, close more death rates and more first performance dates for works. Spanning the twentieth century and beyond, Ottemiller's Index to Plays in Collections, Eight Edition is a valuable resource for libraries worldwide.
