Interesting developments! I will say that the GoodReads plugin - I've tried it on a book or two - does get closer, though not perfect, to my original ask.

To drive the point home by comparison, when I want to know a movie is part of say the French New Wave, IMDB (for all its issues) makes it easy because even though Criterion re-released the movie on Bluray in 2010, after a different production company remastered it in 1995 for DVDs, I can still see that the movie is "from" 1960.

Thanks all for your insights.
