I. THE WILDEAN

 

 

 

THE OSCHOLARS has since its beginning published the Table of Contents for each new issue of The Wildean, and will continue to do so; in the months when there was no new issue, we published the Table from one or more of the earlier numbers.   Short descriptive pieces by Donald Mead about each issue may be found in THE OSCHOLARS and a table indicating in which issue these are to be found is given here.  Below that is the Combined Table of Contents of all issues to January 2009.  The next issue will be published in July 2009.

 

The conditions for submissions are as follows:

 

Editorial policy

 

The editorial policy of The Wildean is to publish studies of the life, works and times of Oscar Wilde and his circle.  The aim is to print material which will interest Wilde specialists and also be accessible to general readers.  Full-length articles, reviews, short items and correspondence are all welcome.

 

In addition to the publication of articles of scholarly interest, including those incorporating the results of new research, works about Wilde published in English are reviewed as soon after publication as possible.

 

Guidelines for contributors

 

The language accepted for publication is English.  Any passages in other languages that may be quoted must be accompanied by an English translation.

 

It is the contributor's responsibility to seek any necessary permission to use copyright material.

 

Style guide: British norm. The Oxford Manual of Style (Oxford University Press, 2002) is very useful.  Adjustments may be made editorially.

 

Footnotes are an interruption to the reader and should generally be avoided.

 

Endnotes should be used for documentation and citation of sources, not for extra expository material which is better incorporated in the text.

 

Suggested length:

 

Articles:  400 words upwards.  6,000 words, including notes, is the maximum.

 

Reviews: 300-1,000 words

 

Notes:   100-300 words.

 

Concision and clarity are sought.  Articles of between 2,000 and 4,000 words are particularly favoured.  Jargon should be avoided, and academic tone and analytical style moderated.  Articles should hold the attention of the general reader.

 

Submission

 

Preferably, text in Word either on disc or by e-mail. Please do not incorporate footnote or endnote formatting. Alternatively, one typescript copy.  Fax submissions cannot be accepted.

 

No submission fees or page charges are required.

 

Copyright ownership:  individual contributors.

 

Rejected manuscripts returned if author requests (with s.a.e.)

 

The Wildean is issued free to members of The Oscar Wilde Society and details of subscription, of which details may be found on the Society’s own website, reached by clicking its colophon.
