An update of Swahili bibliography and listing of articles of former issues of the Swahili Forum.

The editors ofSwahili Forum have decided to revive the former bibliographical service with issueing a first follow-up list within the present No. VII of Swahili Forum. The following titles do certainly not cover all the Swahili-related writings of the years since 1993, but could be seen as a new starter, which might create appetite to continue with a bibliographical section. Eventually this could be completed for the past seven years within the forthcoming issues. The following bibliography contains titles which were rather randomly collected by the present editors. The articles which appeared in Swahili Forum I/1994 - VI/1999 are excluded from this list but await documentation in an extra-list, which is forthcoming in one of the next numbers of Swahlli Forum.

In this study I present an analysis of the structures of four works by Sir Thomas More: The History of Richard III, the 'Dialogue of Counsel' in Book I of Utopia, The Dialogue Concerning Heresies, and The Dialogue of Comfort in Tribulation. My basic thesis is that Thomas More was a superb literary artist and a master of the art of literary dialogue, and that beneath the often apparently rambling and digressive surface of each of these literary works, there is a 'deep structure' that is highly coherent and even tightly organised. I also show that More's use of dialogue in each of the three dialogues is genuinely dialectical—that the individual speakers in the three literary dialogues make a genuine contribution to thedevelopment of the argument—and that the movement from speaker to speaker in the History of Richard III is also genuinely dialectical— anticipating the art of the three later dialogues. To this end I have provided an interpretive reading/analysis of each of the works, focussing on More's "art of dialogue" in the passages of direct and indirect speech in Richard III, and in the dialogues between Hythloday and Persona More in Book I of Utopia, between Chancellor More and the Messenger in the Dialogue Concerning Heresies, and between Vincent and Anthony in the Dialogue of Comfort. The thesis also includes a major bibliographical appendix, consisting of about two thousand items of More scholarship organised according to topic. (The Bibliography is quite comprehensive covering all of More's works and also background studies and biographies.) The appendix is provided both as part of my argument and as a tool for further research.

Darbas sudarytas iš dviejų pagrindinių dalių: Skandinavijos literatūrų aprašymo ir bibliografinių duomenų. Čia nagrinėjami grožinės literatūros vertimai iš skandinavų kalbų (islandų, danų, norvegų, švedų) į lietuvių kalbą. Kiekvienos šalies literatūra aprašoma atskirai. Trumpai aptariama grožinės literatūros istorija, suaugusiems ir vaikams skirta literatūra, pristatomi pagrindiniai vertėjai. Didesnis dėmesys skiriamas garsesniems autoriams. Be to, fiksuoti verstų iš skandinavų kalbų grožinių tekstų bibliografiniai duomenys. Didžioji dalis lietuviškai išleistų knygų yra sąrašuose. Pastebėta, jog skandinavų literatūrų glaudus tarpusavio ryšys neturi įtakos jos vertimams į lietuvių kalbą. Jungiančia grandimi tampa vertėjai, verčiantys iš kelių skandinavų kalbų. Vertimai iš skandinavų kalbų į lietuvių kalbą glaudžiai susiję su politiniais, ekonominiais, ideologiniais faktoriais, bet lemiantis yra vertėjo vaidmuo. Tik vertėjų iniciatyva lietuviška knygų erdvė papildoma itin vertingais tekstais. Šis darbas savo esme – enciklopedinis, todėl fiksuota įvairi informacija, galinti praplėsti skaitytojo žinias apie skandinavų autorius ir kūrinius, bet nekartojama visuotinai žinoma ar prieinama informacija apie autorių biografiją ir išleistus kūrinius. / The work consists of two main parts: description of Scandinavian literatures and bibliographic data. It analyses translations of fiction from Scandinavian languages (Icelandic, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish) into Lithuanian language. Each country’s literature is described separately. The work briefly discusses histories of literatures, literatures for adults and children and presents main translators. Greater attention is paid to more famous authors. Moreover, the work provides bibliographic data on fiction translated from Scandinavian languages. Most of the books published in Lithuanian language are included in the lists. It was noted that the close relation among Scandinavian literatures has no impact on their translations into Lithuanian. Translators who translate from several Scandinavian languages become the connective link. Translations from Scandinavian languages into Lithuanian are closely related to political, economic, ideological factors; however the translator plays a crucial role alongside these factors. Only due to the translators the Lithuanian book space is augmented with especially valuable texts. In its essence, this work is encyclopaedic; therefore it provides various information that could expand reader’s knowledge in Scandinavian authors and their works, though it does not repeat universally known or available information on the authors' biographies and published works.

The intent of the thesis is twofold: interpretive and documentary. Volume 1 focuses on the work John Clark considered to be his mature oeuvre. The general structure is chronological, with the first three chapters devoted to formative influences, and a further chapter to what Clark had to say about meaning in his own work and that of others. The remaining four chapters offer an interpretation of the mature paintings in terms of two concepts: trasformation and the void. Annotated bibliographies and exhibition lists are included. The catalogue raisonne, volume 2, is an ongoing project to provide as complete a chronological record of Clark's known works as is possible: paintings, drawings (including working studies), prints, and reporduction histories are included. Appendices record missing and destroyed works, a bibliography of Clark's personal library, transcripts of three interviews and a lecture. / 29 cm.

The rise in feminist consciousness and the growth of Women's Studies has brought Yiddish women writers into sharp focus. Kadye Molodowsky was one of the most prominent of the modern Yiddish women poets. / Her biography is a typical summary of the modernization of Eastern European Jewry in the early twentieth century. / Molodowsky was a leading figure in Yiddish cultural life in interbellum Poland. As a writer, her primary affiliation was with the Literarishe bleter (Literary Leaves, 1924--1939). This periodical, founded by prominent Yiddish intellectuals in Warsaw, became the world tribune of secular Yiddish culture. Molodowsky's association with this high-profile publication placed her at the centre of the vibrant Jewish literary, cultural, and social life of the time. / What follows, is an annotated bibliography of her publications and work about her in Literarishe bleter, from her debut there in 1925 until her departure for the US in 1935.

Germaine Tailleferre (1892-1983) is best known as the only woman in the "Groupe des Six". This thesis purports to shed greater light on her work, hitherto largely unknown, as well as to present biographical information and a catalogue of compositions. / The analytical study intends to demonstrate expertise, which lay in the use of the "motive" as a generative component of form. In order to demonstrate the latter concept, an analytical model has been developed comprising three methods of analysis: motivic, reductive and formal. Three pieces of different genres and styles representative of Tailleferre's work have been analyzed using this analytical model: (1) Quatuor a cordes (1917-1919); (2) it Image (1918); (3) Cantate du Narcisse (1938). / Musical analysis of these pieces reveals the "organic cohesion" in Tailleferre's work, which consists of an intrinsic relation between motive and form.
