" Frank O'Connor: Works

A List of Works of Frank O’Connor

A step towards a more complete bibliography



Efforts to create a bibliography of the works of Frank O’Connor include the 1969 ‘Towards a Bibliography of Frank O’Connor’s Writing’ by Maurice Sheehy published in Michael / Frank: Studies on Frank O’Connor and the work of Professor Ruth Sherry, left incomplete by her death, held by University College Cork since 2008. I hope this ‘List of Works’ will encourage others to take a refreshed look at O’Connor’s works.


The list is assembled from a range of printed resources and online tools and is aggregated into a single html page. It's hoped that the material can be emended and extended over time and eventually can become integrated into a suitably flexible database.


Please don't consider the ‘List’ as authorative in any way: At this stage there are likely to be many errors introduced by the data handling and general human error. The numbering of items is used only to provide for sequencing and counting. In updates to the list, the numbering of individual works will likely differ. Data fields for each entry may change, be added or removed.


The data display reflects my internal use of several abbreviations for referencing purposes. The most common of these are:

A more complete list of sources used is included with the list.
