The famous literary encyclopedia, of which vol. 10 was suppressed for ideological reasons. Vol. 10 was suppressed by the Party Censorship in 1937 and the whole project was abandoned in 1939 and with it also a projected final 12th volume. Some part versions of vol. 10 did however survive in the home library of one of the contributors, and was published as a reprint in Munich in 1991. The present set is a complete original of the first and only edition. Literaturnaya entsiklopediya is an invaluable work of reference information and remains a scholarly resource. Many leading scholars of the period participated; Asmus, Poppe, Sergievskii, Timofeev, Fomin, Shor, and many others. The edition contains more than 10,000 entries. Since the encyclopedia was published only once it soon became a bibliographical rarity.
