This work was published before, during and after Feuchtwanger's exile by Georg Müller, Drei Masken Verlag, Th. Knaur Verlag, Querido (Amsterdam), Forum (Stockholm and Amsterdam), Neuer Verlag (Stockholm), Frankfurter Verlagsanstalt, Bürgers Taschenbücher, Greifenverlag, Rowohlt Taschenbuchverlag, Fischer Taschenbuchverlag, Deutscher Bücherbund, Büchergilde Gutenberg and Aufbau-Verlag.Lion Feuchtwanger: A Bibliographic Handbook is the first comprehensive documentation of Feuchtwanger's writings. Beginning with the earliest publications in 1905, it sets out the entire history of Feuchtwanger publications right up to the present day. The most important source for this bibliography was the Lion Feuchtwanger Memorial Library in Los Angeles. The point of departure for notes on the German editions was the dissertation by Gertrude Goetz (Univ. of Southern California 1969). Recent research using advanced computer resources such as OCLC and RLIN as well as numerous visits to publishing houses and libraries have made it possible to update and expand on details given in the dissertation.The Volume 'German Editions', the first documentation of all editions and variants available in the German language, gives details on all titles which appeared in Germany before 1933 and after 1945 as well as on editions published during Feuchtwanger's exile between 1933 and 1945 in other countries (England, The Netherlands, Soviet Russia and the U.S.A.). The volume covers all of Feuchtwanger's independent publications -- novels, plays, essays, poetry -- as well as his translations and adaptations of works by other authors (Aeschylus, Aristophanes, CalderĂłn, Kalidasa, Arthur Miller or Sudraka).The second volume will contain Feuchtwanger's contributions to periodicals, newspapers and anthologies, and translations and adaptations of his work by other writers. The third volume will cover secondary literature on Feuchtwanger, and the fourth will document criticism and reviews on individual works by Feuchtwanger.Details given on works listed in Volume 1 include title, collation, contents, typography, paper, press, binding, dust jacket and location of copies, and there is also a notes section. The description of contents makes up the largest section. It has been arranged in such a way that users can easily distinguish between the different editions and impressions. The notes section gives extra information on edition or impression which can help identify a particular volume.
