Index to Volumes 31–35: This index is divided into three parts: a subject index, a list of books reviewed, and an index of contributors. Reviews of books appear under the name of the author or editor of the book, with the reviewer’s name given in parentheses in the citation. In the Index of Contributors, reviews are grouped separately and cited after other contributions by the contributor. This index, as well as previous indices of the Dreiser Newsletter and Dreiser Studies, is published simultaneously on the journal’s website:http://www.uncw.edu/dreiser/studies/
