An extensive bibliography of the literature published on Michelangelo in the English language is contained in William Wallace, ed., Michelangelo: Selected Scholarship in English, New York 1996 (be warned, it runs to five volumes). There are also good specialised bibliographies to be found at the end of each of the entries on different aspects of Michelangelo in The Dictionary of Art, London 1996, pp. 431—61.
