Iowa Literary Landscape

Mount Mercy College's reference staff is pleased to announce two recent expansions to "Iowa: A Literary Landscape," the largest bibliography of fiction, for children and adults, using Iowa as the setting. The work, available at http://www.mtmercy.edu/iafiction/iowafic.htm now offers a
section of folklore resources that includes general reference books, Iowa-specific titles, and sources pertaining to Native Americans in Iowa.

Do you remember that Paul Bunyon is responsible for Iowa's landscape?

The project is periodically updated to reflect recently published and newly found works. These new titles are featured on the page named "Recent Project Additions." Listings are ordered chonologically; an item's full entry will be found in its applicable category. The bibliography now offers over 600 titles and some new inclusions in the short story and novella category.

The staff welcomes feedback and possible additions to the project at any time. We are grateful to the libraries that have cataloged and added this resource to their holdings and to those people who have suggested works for the bibliography.
