(Woodbridge's annotated bibliography has become the standa...)
Woodbridge's annotated bibliography has become the standard for graduate students seeking an introduction to Spanish language and literature studies and for librarians developing reference collections in the field. The second edition contains more than three hundred new entries and updates previous listings. An elaborate table of contents and three indexes will help researchers find needed resources quickly. The volume selectively lists and describes 1,230 valuable and important reference works published since 1950, including bibliographies, dictionaries, glossaries, concordances, union lists, catalogues, manuals, research guides, and dissertations. A short section on bibliographies covering both literature and language is followed by sections on the Spanish of Spain, American Spanish, Spanish literature of Europe, and Spanish literature of the Western Hemisphere. The guide concludes with an index of authors, editors, compilers, and translators; an index of authors and anonymous works as subjects; and a title index.

In the late 1950s Hensley was librarian at Murray State College (later University) in Kentucky. One of the English faculty there, Clell Peterson, suggested they produce a bibliography of Jack London. Peterson proved too busy to stay with the project, but Hensley persisted. Two others joined on: John London, a book dealer, and George Tweney, a book collector. But Hensley was the primary editor and force behind the project, as his first position on the title page indicated. Jack London: A Biography was published by Talisman Press in 1966. The significance of the bibliography quickly spread among scholars, collectors, and dealers. A humble man, commited to accuracy and thoroughness, Hensley welcomed the many additions and corrections sent to him subsequent to the publication. The result was a revised and expanded edition published by Kraus-Thompson in 1973.
