This volume offers a comprehensive revision and updating of the first and second editions with an expanded list of writers emphasising women writers and non-canonical writing; the literature of political economy and household books; and an expanded section on philosophy and science. Individual author entries include sections on manuscript locations, bibliographies, collected works, details of all individual works, contributions to periodicals, letters, journals, translations, pseudonymous works, imitations and attributed or spurious works. The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature is accepted internationally as the single most important reference work in its field.

'CBEL3 is generously wide-ranging … Users of CBEL3 will find different uses for it. I particularly value the opening sections on 'Book Production and Distribution'. But any number of research projects might take off from a browsing of its pages. Strange to say, this is a book which it is pleasurable to browse in … the calculus of pounds sterling for hours of scholarly work, CBEL3 must represent the best bargain going.' The Times Literary Supplement
'The standard bibliography of our national literature … some of the entries are fine, comprehensive and comprehensible, and will serve as an excellent reference in the absence of a full author bibliography.' Jim McCue, The Times
