All of these careful arrangements *completely disintegrated* when they
were placed into the computer catalog. Since computers are rather

But, is it possible to make collective uniform titles useful and

While there is a theoretical sense in which an author can write only one
complete works, in actual practice there are decisions to be made by a
compiler about what complete means. Does one include juvenilia, drafts,

Hi Richard,

Thanks for these and your later set of examples, Adam.
Should we be doing something similar for works that are selections from a
single larger work, rather than collective works? Certainly there is no reason
to think that one book of selections from, say, Paradise Lost would have the

You could have Goretti, Maria, $c Siostra as an authorised access
