Oscar Wilde’s Lecture Tour 1882
A New Landing Page
On his lecture tour of North America Oscar Wilde conducted 141 lectures over 11 months of 1882.
Now with a new landing page by digital creator Jon Darby, these lecture tour pages document a detailed, comprehensive, and accurate record of Wilde’s tour.
Each lecture has its own page dedicated to illustrating the lecture with details of the date, location, subject, lecture venue, and Wilde’s lodging, along with related ephemera—the standard being that all information is verified by primary sources.

Energetic chap Mr Wilde , & well researched Mr Cooper !
Well done. Is this the final version?
If you mean is the lecture tour finalized— yes and has been for a little while. There are still one or two holes for Wilde’s lodging but essentially the itinerary is correct.
