Talk:List of works by Lord Dunsany

The Queen's Enemies
The article on Nitocris states that The Queen's Enemies is one of Dunsany's plays. Is it? Varlaam (talk) 22:49, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes. AnonMoos (talk) 00:30, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * So there are several play collections whose contents could be detailed further? Varlaam (talk) 01:25, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * All I know is that it was included in one of the Lin Carter books, but I'm sure you could turn up original bibliographic details with a little searching... AnonMoos (talk) 02:20, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Good old Lin Carter, eh? How did that guy know so much about everything?
 * Well, possibly the British Library listing for these might spell out the details, but are you aware of any place else online that gets into this?
 * I'm not the big Dunsany fan; I think I've only read 2 or 3 titles, and that was decades ago.

 * Did a quick Google search for isfdb queen's enemies and it turned up http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?852999, which shows you where I read it. Beyond that, I would assume that we're pretty much equal when it comes to searching on-line library catalogs, etc. AnonMoos (talk) 11:07, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Added; it's from Plays of Gods and Men. Unlike the short story collections, it may be reasonable to indicate all the tables of contents for the plays; there aren't that many. JCScaliger (talk) 04:19, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Why move?
I find the distinction between X bibliography (his works) and Bibliography of X (works on him) weird, and unlikely to be of service to the reader.

But I moved it for other reasons: Edward Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany bibliography is ungrammatical; it requires another comma - and if it gets one, it will still be clumsy. More seriously, it is not what Dunsany is called as an author; he's consistently called Lord Dunsany, and there is no reason to violate the principle of least astonishment by calling him something else. (The main article could do worse than follow the example of Lord Byron, but he does have other fields of importance, in which the full title is more natural.)
