Leo Spitzer on Language and Literature: A Descriptive Bibliography

One of the most influential critics of the twentieth century, Leo Spitzer (1887-1960) published more than 1,000 books and articles in a number of languages, including Basque, Catalan, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Provencal, Romanian, and Spanish.

Baer and Shenholm have compiled and annotated the first comprehensive bibliography of Spitzer’s scholarship. Researchers will find especially handy the chronology of books and monographs, which lists each item’s contents. The book concludes with indexes of names, titles, and words and phrases.
