A Bibliography of the Prodigal Son Theme in Art and Literature

Robert Baldwin

Published in Bulletin of Bibliography, 44, 3, 1987, 167-171

A rich literature on the prodigal son has developed in a variety of fields. Unfortunately, the scattered nature of these studies has often prevented historians in one field from exploiting research published elsewhere. In the hopes of encouraging more synthetic scholarship, I have compiled this interdisciplinary bibliography. My efforts are dedicated to Barbara Joan Haeger whose work is fundamental to the subject.
