Catalogued output
Books and published writings, 2008–2018
These are catalogued publications carrying the name — editions and printings, distinct from the works they contain and from writing about the subject. The 2010s are the densest part of the run, with 26 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself. They belong to a run of 30 titles in all, from 2008 to 2018. A selection is set out below and the complete run may be opened beneath it.
