About parodies

The distinction between parody and adaptation, imitation etc. often is arbitrary. There is no generally accepted definition that would be helpful to decide whether a title is a true parody or not.

The titles are mainly taken from Potter's Bibliography (1929), chapter IX, although it may appear after inspection that some are not a parody at all. Many of these titles are available online at Archive.org, where the reader may decide for him or herself.

For titles published after Potter, the selection is based on Biegstraaten and others.

Biegstraaten's list

Biegstraaten's article shows a table of parodies, based on Potter's bibliography and the author's own research.
The titles in this table have no number. To be able to refer to a title in Biegstraaten, I have assigned a virtual number to each title.
