BIBLIOGRAPHIES
August 2003
This month we published a bibliography of the publications of the Eighteen Nineties Society, which has, since its inception, promulgated a significant publications programme of books and pamphlets.
OCCASIONAL SERIES
The current "Occasional Series," under the general editorship of Steven Halliwell, consists of monographs devoted to the "minor" figures associated with the art and literature of the British 1890s. Well-known figures will also be included when new information or a new approach is provided.
