About ESClit

ESClit is the largest bibliographic database of literature about the Eurovision Song Contest. Its goal is to list and present scientific literature about the ESC and JESC, including books, scientific articles and book chapters. To a lesser extent, it also includes biographies of notable persons involved in the event (artists, presenters, commentators...), non-scientific books in languages other than English, self-published sources before 2005, undergraduate thesises before 2005.
It usually does NOT include reviews, self-published sources after 2005, undergraduate thesises after 2005, literature about other similar contests (Asiavision, Intervision), sheet music without elaborate commentary, audiovisual media, sole conference presentations without any following publication in a book or journal, among others.
The database aims to be up to date and to include literature very soon after its publication.

This website is privately owned, non commercial and free to use for anyone.
