Appendix A: Personal and Critical Writing by Wilde

I. Letters

While an expansive volume of letters edited by Merlin Holland and Rupert Hart-Davis is readily available, this selection focuses on letters relative to Wilde’s aesthetic, his view of art, as well as anything pertaining to the texts included in Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime and Other Stories . The following letters are organized chronologically. The headnotes include Wilde’s age as well as the location of the original. Unless otherwise indicated, all letters are authored by Wilde.

Recommended Readings

The bibliography presented here is intended to provide readers with a selective introduction to scholarship on Sartor Resartus. It includes works that reflect upon the narratological structure, politics, and context of the volume, but of necessity omits many valuable studies that engage with the more minute details of Carlyle’s writing.
