Published Works and Performances of Lancelot Schaubert

published works of Lancelot Schaubert

Did you know:

I update the list when I publish work — creative, academic, journalism, reviews, transmedia — under Lancelot Schaubert, so check back often.

I’ve also started to retroactively populate this with public performances and published songs, which will take some time.

Some pseudonymous works included, but the vast majority excised from this list, otherwise why would I have used a pseudonym in the first place?
