Full indexes by topic, keyword and individual work\author form a
complete subject-index, based on the indexes in source
bibliographies. This is a complete bibliography of Arthurian
literature to 1978, the result of five years' work by Professor
Cedric Pickford and Dr Rex Last of the University of Hull. It
consists of a complete alphabetical author-listing, with key
numbers for each item, of all critical material recorded in the
standard Arthurian bibliographies (Bruce, Modern Languages
Quarterly, BBSIA and various other minor lists) with full indexes
by topic, keyword and individual work, /author. The total is over
10,000 main entries, with all recorded reviews listed after each
entry. Where summaries exist in BBSIA, this is indicated in the
main entries. The computer programs have been specially devised and
written for this bibliography by Dr Last, and programming and
editing of the material has taken more than two years. Updating
volumes are planned to appear at five-year intervals

"These five plays provide an excellent introduction to Kaiser's
vision of the regeneration of man, which he illustrated in his
works by a total paring down of detail, penetrating to the core of
the matter and revealing man's true potential. In From Morning to
Midnight the cashier, downtrodden victim of the capitalist system,
turns bank robber in order to test the power, freedom and happiness
that money can bring. His grand gesture of setting himself and
others free turns into an odyssey of disillusion and ends in his
violent death. The unique stage technique employed by Kaiser is as
challenging today as it was when the play was first performed. The
Burghers of Calais has always been considered Kaiser's greatest
play and the "classic" of Expressionist drama. In it, Kaiser
exploits the non-naturalistic technique of Expressionism. The play
embraces vast expansiveness and total concentration, stylized
gesture and lengthy monologues."
