THE OSCHOLARS
Updated
24th February 2007
Publication is on the last day of each month (or if this is not possible, the first day of the next); copydate is not later than the 20th.
Please specify if you wish your e-mail address to be included.
Work in Progress: Please give the provisional title, status (e.g. article, book, M.A. dissertation, Ph.D. thesis etc.) and where appropriate your university affiliation. We are particularly keen to publish abstracts of forthcoming articles / conference papers /theses.
Publications: Full title, publisher, place and date of publication as usual, ISBN if possible.
Notices: If you are kindly submitting notices of events, such as conferences, productions, broadcasts or lectures, please include as many details as you can: venue, date, time, and contact address if possible or relevant.
Style: please try and avoid abbreviations (e.g. Oct, Feb, Thurs, Dept). Dates should be given in the form 29th February. On no account use the formula 01/02/03 as American and European usage differs in the interpretation of this. Please use single quotation marks, saving double quotation marks for quotations within quotations. Punctuation should be outside the quotation marks unless part of the quotation. British/Irish spelling is preferred, but Americans may submit work in their own language.
As we wish to uphold good clear English, horrible words like ‘problematise’ should be avoided, as should the current vogue for using transitive verbs intransitively.
Endnotes should be used (with either bracketed or superscript numbers in the text), as footnotes and footnote references do not transmit. Paragraphs should be justified, with a blank line between them, as here.
Notes & Queries: Please keep these reasonably short, and use the section 'And I? May I say Nothing?' for longer pieces.
Please do not send attachments without prior inquiry. We will always be happy to correspond about such submissions, but they can overtax our mailbox if sent unexpectedly, especially at those times of year when we might not be daily at our desk. This of course applies to any long piece (especially illustrations). Check first so that we can ensure the mailbox has enough capacity.
Other correspondence and announcements of general fin-de-siècle interest may be best suited to our forum at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oscholarship, which aims to provoke discussion about questions of Wilde scholarship and current work on the various topics treated in our family of journals. This is a moderated list restricted to subscribers to one or other of our journals.
