A comprehensive list of books about Wallace's life and work was published in April 2026 by George Beccaloni & Jasper Hulshoff Pol - CLICK HERE to see it. Books published since then are listed below.
Note: In my opinion, the best biographies of Wallace are those by Raby and Costa. Raby’s is the easier read and focuses more on Wallace’s life and travels, whereas Costa’s is a deeper dive, with greater emphasis on his science. Wallace’s autobiography, My Life, is also well worth reading. One book to avoid is van Wyhe's Dispelling the Darkness - CLICK HERE for a review.
