Talk:Montague Summers

message: I'm grateful to User:Bishonen for italicizing book titles.  He expaned a couple of the titles of books Summers edited to include the subject's first name in the title so it would read "The Complete Works of William Wycherly."  In the source I copied the list from, the Xian names are missing on several of these and, not having checked the titles against, say, the Library of Congress catalog, I'm trusting my source.  So that's why I left the link alone, but reverted the display to just a surname.  PedanticallySpeaking 15:47, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)
He also edited Boguet's "An Examen of Witches" in 1928.

Added ISBNs where possible.  (That is, where reprints exist which are recent enough to have been assigned an ISBN). Tabor 18:51, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you. It's not only incorrect it's illogical. E.g. would one would link Tolstoy's famous novel as War and Peace or  War and Peace? If the latter is an absurd idea for the titles of the works of Tolstoy, it's equally absurd for the titles of the works of Montague Summers. Colin4C 18:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I suspect that the original listing of this as a book comes from here. The author of that page says "His most well known works are in those fields. They include:" and gives mostly books, and this article. But it would have been easy for someone to interpret "works" as "books", which was not claimed. The extensive bibliography in "The Eighteenth-century British Novel and Its Background: An Annotated Bibliography and Guide to Topics" (Hahn & Behm, 1985) lists 3188 references, including Summers' article, with no mention of any such book. I'm pretty confident it exists only as that 4 page article. Darrah (talk) 03:08, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Titles of Books 

message: Hello,
I've not seen any references to substantiate the following remarks. Do they exist or are these spurious claims?
"Summers was for a while part of the circle of the so-called 'Uranian poets,' who celebrated ancient Greco-Roman pederasty."
"Summers was a member of the Order of Chaeronea, a secret society for homosexuals founded in 1897 by George Ives, which was named after the location of the battle where the Sacred Band of Thebes was finally annihilated in 338 BC."

replies: text: I cut out all these references. Even for the dead, it's not right to portray them in a light they would consider negative without evidence. I question whether Wikipedia should ever say "Smith was a member of Such-and-such, a secret society" instead of "According to Jones, Smith was a member", unless the police raided their offices and published their member list.--Prosfilaes (talk) 01:24, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  References for claims 

message: May I ask about two of titles listed under the fiction section on this wikipage – namely The Sins of the Fathers and Supernatural Tales. I am unable to find any of bibliographies that list Summers ever having written anything going by those names - may I ask from what reference material this was based (apologies if I have missed something, my referance books on Summers are not the most up to date) 84.92.130.80 (talk) 21:36, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
