THE OSCHOLARS LIBRARY
THE OSCHOLARS Library
has been created to republish articles and essays from out-of-print collections
and from journals to which perhaps only those with access to a university or
national library can find. This is part of our task of ‘rescuing’ articles and
essays that to-day are not generally accessible. Even if in certain cases these have been
superseded by or incorporated into later studies, they have a value in charting
the development of what is now called the ‘Wilde industry’. While doubting the value of the term, we can
at least pay tribute to our predecessors’ industriousness.
They are reproduced with kind
permission, where possible, and remain in the author’s copyright or that of the
author’s estate when copyright is still running. Any infringement of copyright by THE
OSCHOLARS is unwitting and if our attention is drawn to it, will be
corrected.
Date and place of original publication are given in each case, with some biographical information about the author.
In some instances, the author has very kindly made alterations, corrections or additions.
Some of the articles are in Portable Document Format (.pdf) and in these cases the biographical or other additional material is given on a separate page, which can be reached by clicking here.
For purposes of scholarly citation, readers are referred to the print version as the pagination of the originals cannot be followed except in the .pdf reproductions.
New
articles will be added regularly, announced in THE OSCHOLARS and in our discussion forum. We are also compiling a guide to articles
that first appeared in print in learned journals and can now be found on line. These will be listed on the page (linked
below) called ‘In Other Bookcases’. Immediately below that is a link to the articles, essays and abstracts that we have published, and are not to be found elsewhere. Click here.
