In this series, the published titles only of pieces by J.M. Keynes are given in alphabetical order, not the earlier headings provided at manuscript and typescript stage, except in cases where it has been impossible from the early drafts to identify whether or not a piece was published. Where there are several published titles in English for the same article, all are recorded. For full bibliographical details, the reader is referred to the bibliography in 'Collected writings of John Maynard Keynes' (Cambridge and London: Cambridge University Press and Macmillan, 1971-89), vol. XXX. Writings by others are not listed.
This series does not include J.M. Keynes's writings for the Economic Journal (for which, see JMK/EJ) nor the Manchester Guardian Commercial: Reconstruction Supplements (see JMK/GS).
