THE SOCIALIST AND ANARCHIST BACKGROUND

ANNA VANINSKAYA

 

Given that Wilde’s interest in Socialism and Anarchism and his acquaintance with John Barlas, William Morris, Shaw and Cunningham Grahame have not received a great deal of critical attention, Dr Vaninskaya is compiling for THE OSCHOLARS a bibliography of works that give useful background.  This list will be extended and Dr Vaninskaya will be reviewing or commissioning reviews of such books in future.
