THE OSCHOLARS
BIBLIOGRAPHIES
October 2003
In October 2003, we decided to mark the production by Adrian Noble of A Woman of No Importance at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London, with a bibliography of articles, but found only two devoted to this play. We are certain that there must be more!
· Elissa Guralnick & Paul M. Levitt : 'Allusion & Meaning in Wilde's A Woman of No Importance.' Eire-Ireland 13 : 4 1978.
· Joel H. Kaplan: 'Oscar Wilde's Contract for A Woman of No Importance.' Theatre Notebook 48 1994 pp.46-8.
X. NOVEMBER 2003/OCTOBER 2006
