![]() Magill's Literary Annual has been published since 1954. |
Salem has a long tradition of expanding and improving its reference works. Masterplots, for instance, began life in 1949 as a survey of 500 works of literature. Publication of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th series followed, and the individual essays were compiled into a multivolume Masterplots in 1960. The current edition, the 12-volume Second Revised Edition, published in 1996, includes essays on 1,801 works of literature. Masterplots II began publication in 1986 to provide essays on works that were finding their way into the school and college curriculum and were redefining the concept of the "literary canon." The series has now grown to include seven areas of concentration with more than 5,000 essays on individual works of literature, and a new publication, Masterplots II: Christian Literature, will be published in 2007. Of course, Magill's Literary Annual has been continuously published since 1954, Great Events from History since 1972, Great Lives from History since 1987, and Critical Surveys since 1981. Salem refers to those reference collections we publish and update regularly as "continuations."
