Call for Papers:

Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales: A Garden of Delight

Wilde's fairy tales, like the rest of his work, offer curious
juxtapositions between art and nature, purity and corruption,
asceticism and sexuality, child and adult, human and nonhuman. The
"literariness" of Wilde's tales--his ornate style and ironic
plots--provoked some contemporaries to declare that they were not for
children, and yet they remain in print to this day. This special issue
of oscholars, an electronic Journal dedicated to the exchange of
information on current research, publications and productions
concerning Oscar Wilde and his worlds, solicits 3,000-3,500-word
essays on any aspect of Wilde's fairy tales.

500-word proposals due: 31 October 2008.
Deadline for submission: 1 March 2009.

Submit to: Naomi Wood, associate professor, Kansas State University,
and associate editor of oscholars, njw...@ksu.edu.

Format: Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format; 3,000-3,500words,
including bibliography. For the oscholars style guide, consult
<http://www.oscholars.com/TO/Appendix/submissions.htm>.
