REFERENCE: THESES and DISSERTATIONS

[a fairy!] This section lists theses and dissertations on faerylore from many disciplines. It still isn't very up to date, as I need to find a good, recent index. In some cases, the works listed here have later been published as books, and since that usually involves some changes, I will also list the works in the "Lore and Theory" section where appropriate. I will note this in the entries for such works, if I am aware of them.
