BIBLIOGRAPHY
Anthony Burgess had an immense literary output. The bibliography below
includes all of his works published in book-length form and some of the works
of other writers whom he edited (such as Joyce and Maugham), but does not include
his uncollected writings; nor does it identify all the introductions and
prefaces he contributed to other writers' works. Also, in most cases this
listing only identifies British first editions; American first editions were
usually published after the British ones, and are only included here if the
title was different from the British version. In most cases, subsequent
editions of Burgess's works are also not listed, unless, as is the case with
the Malayan Trilogy (1964) or The Complete Enderby (1995), the new edition
assumes a different form from the original. For a more complete bibliography of
Burgess's writings, please refer to the bibliographic sources provided at the
end of this section.
