Design/methodology/approach

The authors identify and evaluate items from print bibliographies, online and card catalogues, electronic databases and the world wide web.

Findings

Numerous scholars have critically assessed the novels of Selvon and this is evident in the existence of published and unpublished works in English and other foreign languages.

Originality/value

The forte of the bibliography lies in the annotative aspect and the inclusion of unpublished works and non‐English speaking documents.
