Yes - and, this is all too likely. This bibliography offers on the pages for the yearly productions:

The listings for the years 1700-1730 offered by W. H. McBurney's A Check List of English Prose Fiction: 1700-1739 (Cambridge, Mass., 1960). McBurney included translations into English, and he mentioned later editons of all the titles he listed. He excluded, however, editions of titles first published before 1700 - a deplorable decision for anyone wondering about the market presence of works from Cervantes' Don Quixote to Fénelon's Telémaque; a deplorable decision also for anyone investigating into the market of "chap-books." Readers interested in these productions have at the moment to be refered to Esdaile, Arundel's A List of English Tales and Prose Romances Printed before 1740, 1: 1475-1642/ 2: 1643-1739 (London, 1912). |

The entries for German titles 1680-1730 offered by Ernst Weber and Christine Mithal, in their Deutsche Originalromane zwischen 1680 und 1780. Eine Bibliographie mit Besitzernachweisen (Berlin, 1983). The authors only sporadically mentioned second and third editions and translations into German, and they excluded earlier titles still on the market. Readers interested in these titles will get some answers from Gerhard Dünnhaupt's, Personalbibliographien zu Drucken des Barock, 1-6 (Stuttgart, 1990-93) - provided the author they are interested in has been identified. Neither Dünnhaupt nor Weber/Mithal attempted to produce market bibiographies including all titles readers could get at the time. |
