Do you sometimes remember a book, play or poem you enjoyed, but you can’t recall who wrote it?
Listed below are 250 titles, in alphabetical order, showing the medium of each (novel, play, poem, etc) and its year of publication. Also shown, for reference, are the years of the most popular and/or recent film and TV adaptations. If you would like details of a film or TV adaptation, go to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and search for the respective title.
The year that a book or poem was written is used when the publication date is unhelpful: eg. when the work was published posthumously. For plays we generally use the year it was written rather than first performed. Some dates are approximations based on the best available information, eg. Shakespeare’s plays.
