Manuscripts
Scope and Content Note
This subseries includes manuscripts of speeches, plays, poems, and other literary works created by Oscar Wilde and his coterie.
Many are in the author's hand. Virtually all of the titles given to the works have been supplied by later catalogers and scholars.
They are arranged alphabetically by author or originator, and then by title. Further arrangement is by date.
This finding aid does not contain books annotated by Wilde or his circle. These items are retrievable via the UCLA online
library catalog. To find materials formerly in Wilde's library and possibly containing his annotations, do a keyword search
for the terms "Oscar Wilde former owner." For further help, please consult Clark librarians.
