List of works by Oscar Browning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of the published works of Oscar Browning, teacher, historian and educationalist, whose active life extended from the mid-Victorian period to the 1920s. The list is incomplete. As well as authoring numerous books, Browning edited and wrote prefaces to other works, and was a copious contributor of articles and reviews which appeared in a range of journals and newspapers, a sample of which are included here. The main source is the partial bibliography included in the 1956 edition of H.E. Wortham's biography.[1]

Browning's main works were historical, but he also wrote on educational matters and literary biography, including a well-regarded Life of George Eliot.[2] Late in life he completed two volumes of memoirs.
