I am not aware of any *recent* bibliography. That doesn't mean it's not out
there, just that I haven't seen it. To find good discussions of the topic
its not really necessary to look farther than the standard reference
grammars.
Carl's comments (which I have deleted to save bandwidth), though, provide a
better overview than that found in the grammars of the hellenistic period.
I don't have Smyth with me to check, but I feel sure it would have a good,
concise discussion covering the broader history of Greek.
