Intentions

Intentions, our print magazine, is published and sent to members four times a year. It records the events and proceedings of the Society as well as items of wider interest to Wildeans, such as plays, exhibitions and new books. Future Society events and booking information for these are always published in Intentions, which is an illustrated publication, only available to Oscar Wilde Society members.

To give an idea of the flavour of Intentions, the latest edition includes an article by Robert Whelan on the posters for the Wilde productions being performed in 1895 (before and after Wilde’s name was removed due to the scandal of his trial), an article on Neil Titley’s talk at his alma mater, the Warwick School, an article by Simon Wilson on the auction of Jeremy Mason’s Wilde collection at Bonham’s, and obituaries for Oliver Ross (a great-great nephew of Robert Ross) and Carmel McCaffrey, editor of the Wilde About Wilde newsletter.

Contributions and suggestions for inclusion are welcome. Please get in touch with the editor Vanessa Heron.
