Work about LZ

 

The following are divided into three lists of articles, reviews (click here) and dissertations (click here). With only a few outstanding exceptions, virtually all the commentary on LZ prior to 1970 was in the form of reviews. The more substantial reviews or those by particularly significant authors are listed under both categories. The cut-off for the list of reviews is the complete edition of “A” (1978), the last work whose publication LZ oversaw.

 

For articles published only online, see LZ Online. Both lists, but particularly that of the reviews, are indebted to the bibliographies of Bailey and Terrell, both of which are usefully annotated.
