THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BURMA (MYANMAR)
RESEARCH: THE SECONDARY LITERATURE
(2004 Revision)
Michael Walter Charney (comp.)1
School of Oriental and African Studies
“The ‘Living’ Bibliography of Burma Studies: The Secondary Literature” was first
published in 2001, with the last update dated 26 April 2003. The SOAS Bulletin of
Burma Research has been expanded to include a special bibliographic supplement
this year, and every other year hereafter, into which additions and corrections to the
bibliography will be incorporated. In the interim, each issue of the SOAS Bulletin
of Burma Research will include a supplemental list, arranged by topic and subtopic.
Readers are encouraged to contact the SOAS Bulletin of Burma Research
with information about their publications, hopefully with a reference to a topic and
sub-topic number for each entry, so that new information can be inserted into the
bibliography correctly. References should be submitted in the form followed by the
bibliography, using any of the entries as an example.
Please note that any particular entry will only be included once, regardless
of wider relevance. Eventually, all entries will be cross-listed to indicate other
areas where a particular piece of research might be of use. This list has been
compiled chiefly from direct surveys of the literature with additional information
supplied by the bibliographies of numerous and various sources listed in the
present bibliography. Additional sources include submissions from members of the
BurmaResearch (including the former Earlyburma) and SEAHTP egroups, as well
as public domain listings of personal publications on the internet. Please also note
that newspaper and newsletter articles, encyclopedia articles, conference papers,
and papers in progress will not be included in this list, as most are short pieces or
extracts from already, or eventually to be, published works.

and published for the first time under Thibaw, included four volumes. In later
editions the fourth volume was separated and incorporated into the first volume of

Briefly surveys several Western travel accounts on Burma. Unfortunately, the
author’s opening premise that aside from anecdotal references, “Historians have
barely used [western accounts such as Symes and Hamilton] as sources and they
have paid little attention to the information contained in the full range of travel
narratives spread over three hundred years from the sixteenth to the nineteeenth
centuries” (p. 109) does not hold up to careful scrutiny. A glance at the author’s
bibliography includes no refernce to the work of Victor Lieberman, Sun Laichen,

modern Burma, its commerce, agriculture, and natural resources. Nor is does the
author indicate if he has examined the early work of J. S. Furnivall, who published
several articles on the topic of early European accounts and information on
commerce and other matters in the Journal of the Burma Research Society [John

Another useful entry from Daw Yi Yi and published by the Myanmar Historical
Commission. This provides a handy reference for converting English and Myanmar
dates between the years 1701 to 1820, covering the last half century of the Restored
Taung-ngu Dynasty and the Kòn-baung dynasty up to the first year of Ba-gyì-daw’s
reign. Dr. Than Tun has produced a multi-volume set covering a much wider sweep
of Burmese history and these will be entered into forthcoming updates of the present
bibliography [M.W.C.].

Although it is intended to provide a general picture of colonial Burma, circa 1910,
it’s greatest utility is provided in the form of numerous biographical entries for the
leading Chinese, Indian, and European business, administrative, and social leaders of
the colonial period at the turn of the century. Note, there are some, but very few
entries for Burmese.
