Here may be viewed the chequered spectacle of editorial titles for poems, in the printings treated in Section A, that WW chose to leave without titles or titled differently, and lines of descent may be traced of frequently repeated editorial titles. Probably editors of unauthorized and posthumous journal reprints and multi-author anthologies, which are not treated in this bibliography, were still more prolific and free-wheeling in inventions of such titles, and almost certainly those editors originated some of the titles listed below; but equally certainly they appropriated titles from those listed below. The editors of these books undoubtedly thought that their titles would assist WW, his poems, and his readers, but at some level of a reader's consciousness they affected, and in some cases still do affect, interpretation of the poems, arguably at times in ways that WW would not have wished. To recognize them and their possible influence may also assist WW, his poems, and his readers.

Compilation of this list came to me as a late calling. When called, I attempted to review the materials that I had already covered for other purposes, perhaps about a third of the total. The review was probably not free of oversights; but some omissions are deliberate. These include most editorial titles for groups of poems. Those are reported in section A. Also omitted are most editorial titles of excerpts (prolonged narrative quotations from Book I of Exc are noted).
