Doctoral theses on Wilde at the British Library

The British Library holds over 250,000 doctoral theses, and their titles can be searched on database called EThOS (Electronic Theses Online Service). We publish below two lists of the astonishingly few theses devoted to Wilde discovered in a search on 1st December 2010. List One gives the details of those theses that have been digitised in pdf. These can be downloaded at once. The titles in List Two have not yet been digitised, but will be when requested. Clicking on each title will take you to a British Library page containing more details. Within each list, entries are in alphabetical order by author.

We will try and keep this up to date. We would be very pleased to publish abstracts if any author cares to contact us.
