*There is a suprising dearth of Buffy Studies literature that focuses on Angel's Buffy arc alone. The vast majority of studies via Angel focus heavily on his development in the Angel spin-off
​
Buffy University primarily focuses on research related to the mother-show. As a result, this bibliography is by no means representative of the Angel the Vampire literature out there.
