As with other books in the series Literary Criticism in Perspective, the bibliography (“Works Consulted”) is arranged chronologically, not alphabetically. A few explanations are in order concerning dates and sources of materials. When introducing Schnitzler's plays, I do not use the date when the work was considered complete or when it was published commercially. Instead, I cite the year of the premiere. The exception is Anatol, a play cycle whose one-acts were printed separately as early as 1889, printed together in 1893, with the printings in every case preceding the premiere. When introducing Schnitzler's narrative works, I cite the first date of publication, usually when the work appeared in newspapers or journals before being printed separately.

My references to Schnitzler's works are from Arthur Schnitzler, Gesammelte Werke in Einzelausgaben: Das erzählerische Werk (7 vols.) and Das dramatische Werk (8 vols.) (Frankfurt am Main: Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag, 1977–78), based on Fischer Verlag's Gesammelte Werke: Das erzählerische Werk (2 vols., 1961) and Das dramatische Werk (2 vols., 1962). Abbreviations are “EW” and “DW” respectively. My references to Schnitzler's philosophical writings, especially his views of criticism, are taken from Arthur Schnitzler, Über Kunst und Kritik, vol. 3 of Aphorismen und Betrachtungen, (Fischer Taschenbuch, 1993), a reprint of the original volume of 1967, which was published as vol. 5 of Gesammelte Werke. On the basis of writings unpublished during his lifetime, Schnitzler's autobiography was published in 1967 with the title Jugend in Wien: Eine Autobiographie (Vienna: Molden Verlag); my paperback version is the Fischer reprint of 1981.
