The final sections of each essay offer further guidance for researchers, including "Signatures" under which the author published, and a "List of Works" accompanied, whenever possible, with contemporary prices and publishing formats. To facilitate research, a robust "Works Cited" includes all texts mentioned or quoted in the essay.
