An NB note on Bibliographic Conventions
Please note that - in this list - personalities are listed alphabetically here according to their last name (surname). This is done in accordance with traditional bibliographic practice, to simplify manual searches. However, the links in the various entries give personalities in the normal order (first name, surname/last name) Thus for example the South African playwright's name would appear as Athol Fugard in an entry about his play Boesman and Lena (or an entry about the Market Theatre), but is listed here under F as Fugard, Athol (and also in the section entitled Bibliography on South African Theatre). However, this too may be clicked on as a link to the entry on Fugard.
Please not ESAT employs British English usage, so spelling and punctuation would normally follow that principle. Unless of course the work referred to is in fact American, Australian or South African for example and uses a different convention.
For example, the abbreviation for mister is written Mr not Mr., as found in American usage.
