This annotated bibliography covers approximately 400 novels
published between 1838 and 2007. Following a substantial
introduction to the history and development of the genre, the main
text provides chronologically arranged entries on hundreds of
novels written for the adult and young adult reader, with
bibliographic details and extensive annotations on plot, themes,
and compositional strengths and weaknesses. Included are so-called
mainstream novels by writers such as Hemingway, Wolfe, Roth, and
DeLillo, whose extensive use of baseball memorably demonstrates the
game's cultural pervasiveness.Appendices provide historical
overviews for the primary baseball subgenres, including mystery,
fantasy, and science-fiction; lists for novels that foreground
issues of race or ethnicity (or both, as in Winegardner's ""Vera
Cruz Blues""), gender (Gilbert's ""A League of Their Own""), and
class (Hays' ""The Dixie Association""); and the author's rankings
of great baseball novels overall and by subgenre.
