Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature
Compiled under the auspices of the Modern Humanities Research Association (MHRA), ABELL indexes a wide range of publications (monographs, journal articles, book reviews, collections of essays, critical editions of literary works and many doctoral dissertations) on English literature from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. It covers British, American and Commonwealth writing, and includes material in languages other than English. The index covers the period since 1920, with a few items from the preceding 30 years.
ABELL is part of the database Literature Online (LION) and the records link directly to the full text articles of online journals of LION and JSTOR.
Within Literature Online, ABELL can be searched either as a single database or in conjunction with the MLA International Bibliography (MLAIB).
