Following is a bibliography of Benjamin De Casseres’ works. I don’t know that it will ever be exhaustive, but in time I hope to make it as comprehensive as possible given the resources available. Please note that for much of his career, De Casseres was a syndicated newspaper columnist. I have listed the earliest version of each article that I could find. However, it may be that an earlier version of some articles appeared in a different newspaper. If you know of any works by De Casseres that are not listed here, or if you are able to fill in any missing information, please email me with the title of the work, the publication in which it was printed, and the original printing date.
