If you do not want to use DBpedia's SPARQL service you can use CatScan:

http: / / toolserver . org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php?wikilang=en&wikifam=.wikipedia.org&basecat=1942+deaths&basedeep=1&mode=cs&tagcat=Writers&tagdeep=3&go=Scan&format=html&userlang=en

(remove spaces: I do not think you should execute that query too often. It put a high load on the toolserver)

I find 116 articles.

I sure know:
Go to this resource: http://dbpedia.org/sparql

and put the following query:

SELECT DISTINCT ?a WHERE {
?a dcterms:subject category:1942_deaths;
    rdf:type dbpedia-owl:Writer} LIMIT 1000

if however you want to see all the writers who died before 1942, it's
better to do like that:

select distinct ?a where {
?a dbpedia-owl:deathDate ?deathDate;
    rdf:type dbpedia-owl:Writer
FILTER (?deathDate<"1942-01-01"^^xsd:date)} LIMIT 1000

Dear All,

Like most years we want to get together a list of interesting figures
whose work will be entering the public domain next year (2013).

I've booted a spreadsheet [1] which we can all begin populating with the
authors whose published works will enter the public domain in the UK in 2013
(70 years after the death of author).

We plan to feature this list on the Public Domain Review and use it as a
point of reference for the collections and articles we get in 2013.

All the best,
Sam
