This four volume set published in 1999 by Edward Elgar Publishing is a ready reference to classic writings in the field and is sure to be accessed frequently by owners who wake up in the middle of the night with corporate governance concerns. The four volume "book" places the movement in context, addresses accountability and performance, considers the efficacy of various stakeholders and institutional structures and integrates writings from numerous disciplines. It sure beats running to the library when someone writes to us at corpgov.net and mentions that seminal work from an Academy of Management Journal in 1991. I can't say that I've read this set thoroughly but I have ambitions and look forward to the challenge. I would have liked to have seen additional chapters by M. Blair, Monks, Minow, Tricker and others but the authors had to leave something for the next edition.
