H.E. Bates Companion

A Guide to the Works of Herbert Ernest Bates

 

Browse the Companion

 


The H.E. Bates Companion will, upon completion, contain entries for every known writing by Bates as well as for significant topics, persons, and places in Bates's life as they relate to his works. Indexes will provide access by date, title, genre, and other aspects as deemed helpful to present and future research.

The Companion is a work-in-progress. Entries have been created for most of the books, stories, and essays listed in the Eads bibliography. Entries have also been created for some topics, people, and places in Bates's life, although for the most part this aspect of the Companion will be accomplished after the entries for his writings have been completed. Some entries are surrounded by brackets, indicating a very unfinished state, but even the other, more polished entries, continue to be revised as the project progresses.

Currently the Companion is accessible by clicking "Browse the Companion" and using your browser's search keys to find specific information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Entries have been made for all of the 449 books, plays, pamplets, short stories, and novellas listed in the Eads bibliography, as well as for many of the miscellaneous non-fiction writings. Entries remain to be completed for some 60 miscellaneous pieces as well as for topical themes in the Companion.
