Anglo-Irish writer Lord Dunsany (1878-1957) was a pioneering writer in
the genre of fantasy literature and the author of such celebrated works
as The Book of Wonder (1912) and The King of Elfland's Daughter (1924).
Over the course of a career that spanned more than five decades, Dunsany
wrote thousands of stories, plays, novels, essays, poems, and reviews,
and his work was translated into more than a dozen languages. Today,
Dunsany's work is experiencing a renaissance, as many of his earlier
works have been reprinted and much attention has been paid to his place
in the history of fantasy and supernatural literature. This bibliography
is a revision of the landmark volume published in 1993, which first
charted the full scope of Dunsany's writing. This new edition not only
brings the bibliography up to date, listing the dozens of new editions
of Dunsany's work that have appeared in the last two decades and the
wealth of criticism that has been written about him, but also records
many obscure publications in Dunsany's lifetime that have not been
previously known or identified. In all, the bibliography has been
expanded by at least thirty percent. Among this new material are dozens
of uncollected short stories, newspaper articles, and poems, and many
books, essays, and reviews of Dunsany's work published over the past
century. Altogether, this bibliography is the definitive listing of
works by and about Dunsany and will be the foundation of Dunsany studies
for many years to come.
