LibraryThing's Version of Cyril Connolly's "100 Key Books of the Modern Movement" - Page 2

IMHO this is likely to be one of the more accurate online versions of Cyril Connolly's "100 Key Books of the Modern Movement from England, France & America, 1880-1950". This despite the source list presenting 104 works. However I don't have access to the physical book, so I can't be sure. It is certainly more specific about the works than other versions.
Arranged in ascending chronological order of year written, from 1880 to 1949. Some works, e.g. 'Ailleurs' ('Elsewhere'), may need to be accessed from 'Collected Poetry' style books for an English translation.
