John Updike: A Bibliography
Abstract
Research for an undergraduate thesis revealed the need for a
definitive bibliography of the works of John Updike. Although Mr.
Updike in a relatively short career has excited considerable critical
controversy, no one has yet given him the bibliographical treatment
such a prolific writer deserves. Perhaps the greatest virtue of my bibliography is its listing of
the first source for all published writings later collected by Mr.
Updike. Standard periodical indexes overlooked many of these entries
which later were revised for collection by the author, and thus are
important to any study of Updike.
