Mickle Street: Preview

Oscar Wilde Blog3 Comments
Next up in Philadelphia’s Oscar Wilde season is Mickle Street

Mickle Street is a new play about the famous meeting of 1882: Oscar Fingal O’fflahertie Wills Wilde and Walt Whitman.

As it happens, the encounter between Wilde and Whitman took place not in Mickle Street, but at the home of Walt’s brother, George, in nearby Stevens Street, two years before Whitman purchased the house in Mickle Street that is now a house museum to his memory.

OSCAR WILDE ON DRESS | LIMITED EDITION HARDBACK | 2013

Limited Bibliophile Edition | Ebook
http://www.oscarwildeondress.com

SOLD OUT

It is rare that an important contribution by a major author goes unrecorded. Rarer still if the author is Oscar Wilde, the famous poet, writer, dramatist, and much quoted wit, who has been the subject of continual interest and analysis since his death in 1900. But such has been the fate of his 1885 essay The Philosophy Of Dress.

This work now forms the centerpiece of a unique collection of Wilde’s writings on dress and fashion. In the book, in addition to the essay, there are generously annotated and illustrated chapters that analyze the importance of dress to Wilde’s writing career, and a comprehensive review of the influences, trends, characters, and source material that informed his dress philosophy. As a compendium this book includes several period articles and letters by Wilde on dress and fashion, along with related, but rarely published, correspondence.

Oscar Wilde In America | An Online Resource
By John Cooper

This is a leading blog devoted to the life and work of Oscar Wilde beginning with his time in America, and stretching beyond. It stems from the documentary archive at:
www.oscarwildeinamerica.org

This sister web site includes:

  • Oscar Wilde’s 1882 Lecture Tour of North America
  • A Detailed Analysis of American Quotations
  • The Sarony Photographs of Oscar Wilde
  • Oscar Wilde’s New York Arrival
    and much more…

A main focus of the web site is to verified the itinerary of the 1882 Lecture Tour, the detail of which presents considerable challenges and is necessarily an evolving project. Please provide any information you can to verify tour dates, venues, subjects or other details. I intend the site to be definitive and use only primary sources, and of course all contributions will be credited on the site.
