The following is an expanding and regularly updated electronic inventory of literary works engaging with Toronto. These works, consisting of novels, poetry collections, story anthologies, plays and memoirs, comprise the core of the Imagining Toronto Library.

The Imagining Toronto Library also includes an inventory of scholarly and popular works focusing on local history and culture, literature and place, cultural geography, city planning and urban design. If you are interested in a loosely curated collection of books organized by neighbourhood, cultural community, genre or social condition, please view the Literary Neighbourhoods page.

Many of the books listed here are available through the Toronto Public Library system and are also available at most university libraries. If you are interested in building your own library of Toronto literature, a good place to start is at a local, independent bookstore (see sidebar to the right for a list of Toronto booksellers). Older, out-of-print books may be found at local used bookstores (also listed in the sidebar), through online booksellers, or at used book sales.

If you would like to suggest additions or corrections, please contact Amy Lavender Harris at alharris [at] yorku [dot] ca.

Permission to make use of this bibliography, in whole or in part, for any purpose other than personal use or non-commercial  academic research, shall be obtained in advance in writing.
