About the author

Edward D. McDonald, also identified in library and archival records as Edward David McDonald, was an American bibliographer and literary scholar. He is best known for A Bibliography of the Writings of D. H. Lawrence, a reference work first published in 1925 with a foreword by Lawrence himself.

Archival and scholarly records connect him closely with D. H. Lawrence studies, and one reliable archive note describes him as a 1910 graduate of Indiana University who later served as head of the English Department at Drexel Institute of Technology in Philadelphia. His surviving papers are held at the Harry Ransom Center, reflecting his place in the world of literary research and bibliography.
