Oscar Wilde Revalued: An Essay on New Materials and Methods of Research

In Oscar Wilde Revalued, Ian Small chronicles the significant changes in Wildean critcism and suggests that a "demythologized" Wilde is surfacing from innovative but scattered research by scholars working in areas as distinct as women's studies, textual scholarship and theatre history. The book places the scholarship in an authoritative context, makes explicit changes that have occurred since E. H. Mikhail's bibliography, corrects earlier bibliographical inaccuracies, and provides a census and description of the manuscripts available.
