A General Reading List

This is an indiscriminate list of books and articles. Virtually everything published about Monamy since 1900 is remarkably inaccurate and unresearched, and some of the most absurd, irresponsible, and downright worst of the commentary is among the most recent. Although probably the most comical of these unhistorical and fantastical accounts was perpetrated by Harry Parker, in the Mariner's Mirror, 1911, there are others, almost equally silly, written within the last ten years. Nevertheless, I have included everything which I have at some point read or had reference to, and feel obliged again to underline the all-embracing nature of this compilation.
