For Starters...

The secondary literature on Daniel is vast. Therefore, the following book (still) is an invaluable tool for any serious student of the Book of Daniel:

Henry O. Thompson: The Book of Daniel. An Annotated Bibliography. (Books of the Bible 1; Garland Reference Library of Humanities 1310). New York/Loondon: Garland Publishing, Inc., 1993. Pp. xli + 547. ISBN 0-8240-4873-3.

In addition to an impressive annotated bibliography (which also covers literature in other languages than English), Thompson offers a short but fine introduction to the Book of Daniel.

Highly recommended!
