A Celia Thaxter
Bibliography
This bibliography of the published works of Celia Thaxter (1835-1894) is not complete.
More texts are bound to be found. It will be corrected as new
information becomes available.
The items listed here were compiled from
searches using Google, Hathi Trust serials database, FictionMags
Index, and ProQuest History Collections, the last available
through the Stewart Memorial Library of Coe College.
I have located texts of nearly all of these
items and have provided links for them
When items have been collected, I have
indicated collections in which they appear.
Here is a list of Thaxter collections, with
links to those currently available online.
Poems (1872)

This apparently is an expansion of the 1872
volume. I have assumed, without certain knowledge, that the
pagination of 1872 and 1874 is identical for the poems contained
in both.

In a letter to Annie Adams Fields of 28 June 1886, Thaxter writes:
"Then I am in the midst of the 24 poems for Wide Awake art prints,
which nearly crack my small skull, it is so difficult to
circumvent their impossibility! Lothrop [the publisher, Daniel
Lothrop (1831-1892)] gives me two hundred & fifty dollars for
them, but five hundred would be cheap when the headaches I get
from them are counted!
