In Darwin's Shadow: The Life and Science of Alfred Russel Wallace ...

APPENDIX II
WALLACE’S PUBLISHED WORKS
The following bibliography includes all of Wallace’s books, papers, essays, reviews, interviews,
and letters to the editor, totaling 749 references. A bibliography of Wallace’s
published works was first compiled in 1916 by his friend James Marchant, as part of a
collected volume of Wallace’s letters entitled Alfred Russel Wallace, Letters and Reminiscences.
H. L. McKinney’s 1972 biography, Wallace and Natural Selection, added to it, but
the definitive bibliography can be found in Charles H. Smith’s 1991 Alfred Russel Wallace:
An Anthology of His Shorter Writings. Smith tracked down every known published work
of Wallace’s and compiled a publishing history of each item, including reprints, second
serials, anthologies, and the like, with pagination, illustrations, and other details provided.
It is a remarkable achievement but one that need not be repeated here in its entirety for
space considerations. I have, instead, provided shorter citations for each reference, following
some of Smith’s conventions (although abbreviated to provide only the essential information
for readers), and refer scholars to Smith’s volume for additional information, as
well as to his Web page on Wallace at http://www.wku.edu/smithch/index1.htm, where
one will find a veritable treasure trove of Wallace materials. Smith’s archive is an invaluable
service to historians of science and it continues to grow as he posts additional materials
on a regular basis, including complete book and article manuscripts, extended quotations,
interviews, and answers to frequently asked questions about Wallace. No historian
should attempt a Wallace biography without consulting Smith’s Web page. For Wallace’s
unpublished writings see Appendix I: Wallace Archival Sources, the most complete to
date. Both the archives and the bibliography attest to the depth and scope of Wallace’s
knowledge, his wide-ranging interests, and his fearless literary ventures into fringe and
heretical science and the borderlands of knowledge.
