Finally my annotated bibliography

I was able to find some excellent sources that were very helpful in writing my paper.

Annotated Bibliography

Brunvand, Jan Harold. "The Folktale Origin of the Taming of the Shrew." Shakespeare Quarterly 1966: 345-59.  This article is very helpful because Jan Harold Brunvand discusses the masterful way that Shakespeare adapted a classic folktale into the Taming of the Shrew.  Since my topic is about the sources that Shakespeare used for his plays this seems very applicable and powerful.

Marchalonis, Shirley. "Medieval Symbols and the "Gesta Romanorum"." The Chaucer Review 1974: 311-9.  This article is mostly discussing prevalent symbolism during the medieval time period which doesn’t apply but it does give a lot information about the Gesta Romanorum from which Shakespeare borrowed to create his plays.

McKnight, George H. "Germanic Elements in the Story of King Horn." PMLA 15.2 (1900): pp. 221-232.  This article shows that there are a lot of wonderful stories in other literary histories that would be interesting to explore.

Muir, Kenneth. "Saxo and Hamlet." Shakespeare Quarterly 35.3 (1984): pp. 370-372.   This shows the parallels between Shakespeare’s Hamlet and the account given by Saxo Grammaticus.

Saxo, Grammaticus,d.ca.1204. The First Nine Books of the Danish History of Saxo Grammaticus. Ed. Oliver Elton 1861-1945. and 1850-1904 F Powell (Frederick York). London, D. Nutt, 1894.   This shows the original work of Saxo Grammaticus translated into English and also includes commentary about the work by Elton and Powell.

Select Tales from the Gesta Romanorum. Ed. Charles Swan tr. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1887.  This gives more detail regarding the stories that were included in the Gesta Romanorum and also more information about the quantity of stories in this work and other works.

Sperber, Hans. "The Conundrums in Saxo's Hamlet Episode." PMLA 64.4 (1949): pp. 864-870. This is another article discussing the differences between the two Hamlet accounts.  This was helpful in understanding the changes that Shakespeare made.

Weiss, R. “Bandello's Fiction. an Examination of the Novelle.” The Modern Language Review, Jul., 1957, Vol.52(3), p.443-444, 1957.  This was a very informative article from which I got the majority of my information on Matteo Bandello.  It helped contrast his work with the later adaptations done by Shakespeare.
