Marcel was a very prolific writer, whose work ranges over philosophy, drama, criticism, and musical compositions. The following bibliography merely scratches the surface of his extensive oeuvre. More complete bibliographies can be found in: (1) Francois H. and Claire Lapointe (eds.), Gabriel Marcel and His Critics: An International Bibliography (1928–1976), New York and London: Garland Publishing, 1977; (2) Paul Arthur Schilpp and Lewis Edwin Hahn (eds.), The Philosophy of Gabriel Marcel (Library of Living Philosophers Volume 17), La Salle, IL: Open Court, 1984; and (3) K.R. Hanley (ed.), Gabriel Marcel’s Perspectives on the Broken World, Milwaukee, WI: Marquette University Press, 1998. The websites of the Gabriel Marcel Society, and of the new journal, Marcel Studies, are also valuable resources (see the Other Internet Resources section below).
