The bibliography that follows reviews academic essays and larger works in English that are substantially about B. S. Johnson; reviews, mentions, asides, brief paragraphs in general surveys and broadly comparative summaries are not included. The essays and other works reviewed are grouped under the names of their authors who appear, non-alphabetically, in chronological order of their first publication on Johnson and not, therefore, necessarily their most well-known publication on Johnson. If this introduces an element of unpredictability to the order, so much the better.
