Book Description

ISBN-10: 0313253374 | ISBN-13: 978-0313253379 | Publication Date: October 30, 1995 | Edition: annotated edition

The first of three volumes, this comprehensive bibliography of more than 2,200 entries includes all English-language biographies of Gandhi, writings by Gandhi, and bibliographic sources. A unique aspect of the work is a section on books read by Gandhi, a useful list for those seeking insight on Gandhi. Pandiri has carefully examined the titles included and, unlike many earlier bibliographers, he has annotated all of Gandhi's voluminous writings. He also provides in-depth descriptive and evaluative annotations for the other works, noting content, scope, authority, use, and historical significance. A vital reference tool for scholars and researchers, this volume is the first comprehensive Gandhian bibliography since 1974. In addition to in-depth annotations, the entries include full bibliographic information. Many of the entries also include review notes of the work. Full indexes make the material easily accessible. Forthcoming volumes will include books on Gandhian topics and articles about Gandhi and Gandhian topics.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Pandiri offers a richly detailed, exhaustive, and well-organized bibliography of Gandhi's writing, English-language biographies of Gandhi, and books read by him. Unlike previous bibliographers of Gandhi, Pandiri generously annotates the entries, supplying short descriptions and evaluations of the works as well as historical and additional bibliographical information. An invaluable resource for any serious scholar of Gandhi, highly recommended for academic collections.”–Choice

This review is from: A Comprehensive, Annotated Bibliography on Mahatma Gandhi: Volume 1 Biographies, Works by Gandhi, and Bibliographical Sources (Bibliographies and Indexes in World History) (Hardcover)

This book is extraordinary, the like of which I have not read in the extensive Gandhian literature. Mr. Pandiri, the author of this great book has exhausted the literature to put together this volume. It must have taken many years to complete this work. I have read almost the entire Gandhian literature, and nowhere can I recall anyone who had done such a commendable job. Not only is this book essential for the libraries but I also strongly recommend this book to any student of Gandhi dedicated to researching and unearthing the truths about this elusive figure better known as Mahatma gandhi.
