What's the word for 'body of work'?

[TheDevilWearsPenneys]

When the author isn't dead.

oeuvre

oeuvre.

But you can be dead and still have an oeuvre, I think.

oeure? are you sure, I was thinking of another word.

corpus?

But a body of work relating to a single author is known as oeuvre.

A list (annotated/critical, whatever) of one person's writings is known as a bibliography

canon?

Ach, I'm confusing it with a film director, but still can't quite get the word. It's really annoying me now.

You're not thinking of auteur, are you?

port and lemon, bingo!

thanks so much

eh? "auteur" is surely not the answer to your original question.

It isn't at all, I was just being stupid.

Portfolio?

It's canon bloody canon.

I said that!

So you did!

(true to your name)

It's not canon. It's oeuvre.

The canon is a list of eg classic artists, or writers of great literature.

ouevere sounds like an egg. But maybe it should

actwerly, oeuvre means 'work' in french. poncey intellectual work, rather than eg farm work.

you, my dear, are think of oeuf.
