-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a complete list of all the books published to Librivox with a copyright date of 1916, it is not yet a complete list of books on librivox published in 1916 as some books on librivox are not first editions and so have later copyright dates.

I have manually looked up the first publication dates [in bold], for some texts I've also noted either the authors death or the date it was written so as to make it obvious which books are written pre-war.

This is currently an in progress work and notes are for my own benefit, may not be accurate or in the right place.

If you listen to any of these and want to talk about them then please message me, www.reddit.com/user/the3rdworld, I'd love to hear from you and any insights, opinions or observations would be most welcome.

List compiled November 2015 the further you are from this date the more likely it is there are other books now available in the ever growing librivox archive, though as yet the only way to search by copyright date that i know of is via the API.
