Giving Attribution Where It's Due

This is a blog for my forays into "literary sleuthing," where I try to track down author attributions and original publication sources for unattributed (usually public domain) works.

Sometimes I investigate quotes, and other literary mysteries, too.

My Current Cases

Selected Stories of Austin Philips #

I'm collecting as many of the Post Office detective and Post Office supernatural short stories of Austin Philips as I can find online. Possibly some non-post office crime stories, too.

Miscellany and Digressions #

These are literary investigations that pop up while I’m in the middle of another project (often, another investigation). I get curious about things, and I can’t help but dig. Since the results don’t always fit neatly into the other “active case” categories on the site, I keep them here.

For previous sleuthing projects, see the My Cases page.
