About this website: a note from the creator/curator
An avid reader of James Baldwin's writing, I noticed that many existing listings (take PBS's, for example) of his works are incomplete and contain errors. So I attempted to compile a more comprehensive, more accurate catalog. It started out as a personal project, but in February 2022, I decided to make it public so that teachers, students and researchers could utilize it too.
Throughout my research to find and factcheck each entry, I have come across many uncollected Baldwin essays, speeches and interviews. It is my hope that this website will serve as a helpful repository of Baldwin's complete oeuvre for literary enthusiasts and scholars alike.
All that said, this site is a work in progress. If you notice something is missing, spot a mistake, or have any suggestions or feedback, please use the contact form to get in touch.
And finally, BaldwinBibliography.com is an independent, free resource, but it requires time and effort to maintain, not to mention domain and web-hosting fees. Any support—which can be donated through Buy Me a Coffee—is much appreciated.
