This timeline is comprised of depcitions of Oscar Wilde in magazines such as Punch, Puck, Harper's Bazar, The Wasp, The Judge, Harper's Weekly, and The Illustrated Police News. The aim of this timeline is to present research surrounding the relationship between Oscar Wilde and flowers, as depicted in the aforementioned media of the time. The reason this is of interest is because of the history of the "pansy" stereotype in regards to gay men. The flower imagery at hand in these illustrations and texts---developing from sunflowers and lilies to lilacs to green carnations---allows us to fully understand Wilde's history with flowers, and what that may have meant when it came to the formation of the "pansy" stereotype.

This timeline features a collection of images and written pieces representing the New Woman in the Victorian Era. Sarah Grand first coined the term “New Woman” in 1894. Despite this, the idea of the New Woman had already been pervading Victorian society years before, with the term’s meaning constantly fluctuating. What did it mean to be a New Woman? This collection, consisting of writing by prevalent authors  Sarah Grand and May Kendall and Punch cartoons by various artists, explores the New Woman’s representation as existing not only in a liminal space between genders but in a space decidedly above men, causing resentment and mocking from traditionalist parties. This timeline was created by Grace Gannon in 2024 for Drew University's ENGH/WGST 304: Sexuality and Gender in Victorian Literature and Culture.
