Bagehot never fully recovered from a bout of [[pneumonia]] he suffered in 1867, and he died in 1877 from complications of what was said to be a cold.<ref>Roger Kimball, [http://www.newcriterion.com/articles.cfm/bagehot-kimball-2990 "The Greatest Victorian"], ''The New Criterion'' October 1998.</ref> Collections of Bagehot's literary, political, and economic essays were published after his death. Their subjects ranged from [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]] and [[Benjamin Disraeli|Disraeli]] to the price of silver. Every year, the British [[Political Studies Association]] awards the Walter Bagehot Prize for the best dissertation in the field of government and [[public administration]].

Bagehot's collected works were issued in a set of 15 volumes, published by ''The Economist'' between 1965 and 1986, and edited by [[Norman St. John-Stevas]].
