Part I. includes all the authorised editions published in England, and the two French editions of Salomé published in Paris. Authorised editions of some of the works were issued in the United States of America simultaneously with the English publication.
Part II. contains the only two ‘Privately Printed’ editions which are authorised.
Part III. is a chronological list of all contributions (so far as at present known) to magazines, periodicals, etc., the date given being that of the first publication only. Those marked with an asterisk (*) were published anonymously. Many of the poems have been included in anthologies of modern verse, but no attempt has been made to give particulars of such reprints in this Bibliography.
