This list of articles is an entirely unscientific selection of articles specifically about Owen and is simply intended as a beginning.  Please e-mail me identifying additional articles dealing with Owen. I will be happy to include almost any published article, comment or note that a visitor thinks would be appropriate as well as unpublished pieces.  Feel free to suggest your own work.  Please include the author's name, the citation, and (if available) a url link.  I intend to err on the side of inclusion. 

(For articles about Monell and its progeny generally, see the Monell Bibliography Page.)
