BIBLIOGRAPHIES
From early days, we published a number of bibliographies of works by or about Wilde, turning these into a monthly series in February 2003. Continued in the editions of THE OSCHOLARS, they were gathered after publication in this section. With the reconstruction of our website throughout 2007, it became more practical to post new bibliographies directly here, merely linking to them from other pages of the site, and taking the opportunity to reach beyond Wilde as we expanded our commitment to the fin de siècle in general. Additions and corrections are silently inserted in each section, but of course will be acknowledged when sent in by readers. Tables of Contents are below.
These bibliographies have always been more enumerations or checklists than bibliographies in the bibliophile sense, with different emphases. Mark Samuels Lasner has succinctly defined the difference: ‘...Rather they are enumerative bibliographies, in other words, lists, with, in some cases, brief commentaries. Enumerative bibliographies are increasingly being superseded by the plethora of databases and full-text sources available on the internet. Descriptive bibliographies, on the other hand, still seem to appear almost without exception in the form of a book or, occasionally, a long journal article. Possibly this is due to the need for the kinds of typefaces, numbering, cross-references, and indexing not readily available on the web. Perhaps also the compilers want their productions to be printed the old-fashioned way – after all they have spent much time examining the books they are describing and studying...’ (VICTORIA listserv 18th April 2008, and quoted here with permission). No such descriptive bibliography for Wilde has been compiled for nearly a hundred years: Stuart Mason, A Bibliography of Oscar Wilde. London: T.Werner Laurie 1914.
We refer readers also to our LIBRARY, to its subsection IN OTHER BOOKCASES, and to the articles published for the first time with us in MAY I SAY NOTHING?
Similar bibliographies of Wilde in French are also being established by us in association with the Société Oscar Wilde (Paris) and its bimestrial bulletin Rue des beaux-arts. This can be accessed by clicking on the colophon
