Aug 28, 2026

Embedded is a scholarly-style bibliography compiling photo-embedded fiction and poetry, spanning years from 1892 to 2023. The work emphasizes titles in English while also noting when books are translations and, when applicable, tracking original-language versions. It defines photo-embedded literature as novels, poetry collections, or occasional short stories that integrate photographs as an intended part of the text, placed or approved by the author. Entries are organized chronologically by year and alphabetically within each year, supported by separate author and artist indices.

Embedded A Bibliography of Photo-Embedded Fiction & Poetry from the 1890s to 2023 Embedded A Bibliography of Photo-Embedded Fiction & Poetry from 1892 to 2023 By Terry Pitts Embedded: A Bibliography of Photo-Embedded Fiction & Poetry from 1892 to 2023 © 2024 Terry Pitts To suggest corrections or additions, make a comment anywhere on the blog: [https://sebald.wordpress.com/](https://sebald.wordpress.com/) Front image: Front dust jacket from Jonathan Williams and Fielding Dawson. The Empire Finals at Verona. Highlands: Jargon Society 1959. © Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center. A note about this bibliography. First, no bibliography of this nature will ever be remotely complete. The entries here reflect only those books that I have managed to locate through my own persistence and through the help of individuals who have called titles to my attention through my blog Vertigo ([https://sebald.wordpress.com](https://sebald.wordpress.com)). Naturally, the emphasis is on titles in the English language. In general, I have attempted to note whenever a book was a translation from a previously published title in a different language. On occasion, when the English publication was a translation, I also tracked down the title in the original language. Second, this hardly warrants the use of the term bibliography. I have not personally inspected every title included here, but my goal has been to identify as many titles as possible that fit my criteria. If I have not seen the book myself, usually someone has confirmed the information about the images found in the title. On rare occasions, the only way I know about images in a title came about by reading the sample provided by Amazon. In such cases, I made a note of this practice. I have defined photo-embedded literature as any novel or book of poetry (or, on occasion, a short story) which includes one or more photographs that are meant to be part of the text. By that I mean that the photographs were selected and placed in the text by the author or were approved by the author as part of a collaboration. Ideally, I am looking for the author’s intention to have the photographs considered as part of his or her original textual material. Entries are arranged chronologically by year, and within each year they are arranged alphabetically. There is a separate Author and Artist Index to help readers find specific individuals within the Bibliography.
