I take it that that is the first three?

Pretty easy grid fill, but given the number of versions, transpositions and so on of the best known work (and my cloth ear and all that goes with it) I doubt my ability to complete the end-game.

First, second and fifth were the ones I meant. The first part is either (2) or (1,1) depending on your punctuation preferences. That threw me for quite a while.

Throck, I sympathise. There are a lot of versions out there and I got lucky by hitting on the right one. That’s something that doesn’t happen often!

Loge, I am probably being stupid but (without trying to give too mech away) my 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th letters give a name for a boy, Is that right?

I've got what I think are both across and down messages but they're not helping identify the subject - can I check if his initials are NR?

Got title of the first work - it took a very lucky guess and the help of google to identify it and the DOB of the creator.

NR is incorrect.

brendan, I THINK they are EG and he had a particular problem that I share which means me completing this is almost an impossibility. The versions that I have found, suitable for a numbskull like me, do not seem to appear in my grid. Also, I am really struggling to identify the message from the across clues.
