    Im hoping someone can furnish me with a reference to a book-(non-fiction) that would give lists probably by author or title of every author of literature and the entire list of their life's work.Dont want reviews or whatever-maybe entries would look like

    eg Dickens, Charles
    Pickwick Papers ,Oliver Twist ,Old Curiosity Shop ,Martin Chuzzlewit ,Hard Times ,Barnaby Rudge ,Little Dorritt ,Great Expectations ,Bleak House ,David Copperfield ,Tale of Two Cities ,Our Mutual Friend ,Mystery of Edwin Drood, etc

    Dickenson, Emily

    and so on...

    Would simply be an exhaustive list.
    Does anyone know of such a book or any similar variations and if so the title?
    Thanking you
    Steve

    lists of books

    I think an encyclopedia of literature would be ok. I've got the Merriam Webster's, and its complete and clear. Good luck

    To save yourself money you could use Wikipedia...there happens to be a pretty good database there now.

    There is also something called the Short Title Catalog which is a huge bibliography of almost all works. I have access to this in my university library. If all else fails you could find another bibliography in "The Bibliography of Bibliographies" (yes, it really exists!).
