The publication of Ashley
Robins’ Lancet article (see below) rekindled
interest in the medical history of the Wilde family, and this was boosted by
the Chapter on Oscar in Deborah Hayden’s Pox. Here we are collecting articles about Oscar
Wilde’s medical condition (§.I), and about his father’s
medical and surgical career (§.II).
|
|
|
|
In the autumn of 2006, Patrick O’Sullivan drew the
attention of subscribers to his Irish Diaspora JISCmail group to the
availability on line of indices to medical journals. Entering Oscar’s and Sir William’s names in
the Search engine at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi
will bring up dozens of articles in which one or other of the Wildes are
mentioned. Some of these can be read
in full, others only in summary. Mr
O’Sullivan listed a selection in no particular order, and we will make
further selections in future.
|
|
|
|
We will also add an occasional
related work (§. III).
