BIBLIOGRAPHY
From Robert W. Buchanan by John A. Cassidy (New York: Twayne Publishers Inc., 1973): “There is no complete collection of Buchanan’s works. Most of the poetry is included in The Complete Poetical Works of 1901, but several of the early poems are omitted from this edition; and The Drama of Kings is cut considerably from the original version of 1871. Of the fifty plays listed by Allardyce Nicoll in his Late Nineteenth Century Drama (282-83), only three have been published; and my efforts have unearthed only forty-four plays in manuscript or typescript in the Lord Chancellor’s collection now in the British Museum. Cassidy’s 1973 bibliography formed the basis for what follows. However, I have managed to add a few more titles, plus a filmography and a list of musical adaptations of Buchanan’s poems. The section on ‘Critical Writings’ has also been updated. For further details about the various editions of Buchanan’s works I have added a page of Additional Bibliographic Information, and a chronological listing of Buchanan’s works is also available.
