This is a survey – necessarily incomplete, but growing, of the journals for our
period, with special attention drawn to articles that fall within our general
themes. Until November 2007, the survey
was published in our section ‘Publications’.
Our continued reconstruction of our website has suggested this new
free-standing page. Theatre journals are
covered in
French journals are covered more fully in our sister publication rue des beaux
arts, the bimestrial bulletin of the French branch of The Oscar
Wilde Society, which can be reached via our hub page. This does not preclude
notice here.

Given the very high number of film versions of Wilde’s work (as noted in our rubric ‘Oscar Wilde and the Kinematograph’ in our Editorial page) we very much welcome (and are already in correspondence with) a new journal, Adaptation in Film and Performance. We republish below information received.
Journal
of Adaptation in Film and Performance
- an Intellect journal - ISSN: 17536421 INAUGURAL issue is OUT Editors: Richard Hand (@) and Katja Krebs (@) Assistant editor: Márta Minier (@) Reviews editor: Duška Radosavljević (@) Aims and scope: Adaptation, or the
conversion of oral, historical or fictional narratives into stage drama has
been common practice for centuries. In our own time the processes of cross-generic
transformation continue to be extremely important in theatre as well as in
the film and other media industries. Adaptation and the related areas of
translation and intertextuality continue to have a central place in our
culture with a profound resonance across our civilisation. As an academic
discipline, Adaptation Studies has begun to establish itself in the last few
decades as an important area of scholarship and research which continues to
make significant contributions to our analysis and understanding of a complex
and increasingly diverse world culture. Journal of
Adaptation in Film & Performance is a new, peer-reviewed journal
designed to engage with specific issues relating to performance on stage,
film, television, radio and other media. Embracing comfortably these
disciplines under the umbrella of adaptation theories and practices, it
attempts to challenge widespread views of national cultural histories and
global constructions of performance culture by analysing methods, histories
and occurrences of adaptation across a range of media. *** Volume I number 1 (December 2007) Contents: ·

The British Art Journal (‘The research
journal of British Arts Studies’, founded in 1999), maintains a website at www.britishartjournal.co.uk,
but no Table of Contents is as yet published and the website seems unchanged
since 2003. One cannot tell from the website what was its most recent issue,
and the Archive page has been suspended ‘for lack of funds’. Submissions are
still being invited and we will continue to monitor the site in case articles
on fin-de-siècle artists should appear.
No 14, 332 pages, was published in March 2007 and
we gave the Table of Contents in our September issue.
The Cambridge
Quarterly was established on,
and remains committed to, the principle that literature is an art, and that the
purpose of art is to give pleasure and enlightenment. The journal devotes
itself principally to literary criticism and its fundamental aim to take a
critical look at accepted views. The
Cambridge Quarterly also
regularly publishes articles on music, cinema, painting, and sculpture, and
endows a prize for, and publishes, the best Cambridge University Finals
dissertation each year. Four issues are
published each year, the most recent (Volume 36 Issue 4 ) in November 2007.
To mark the centenary in 2007 of the publication of Henry James's The American Scene, the next issue of The Cambridge Quarterly will be devoted to 'Modern James', and is guest-edited by Tamara Follini and Philip Horne.
We do not
overlook the fact that it is published by the Oxford University Press...
Please note that this refereed, Internet-based
journal is now hosted by the
The
new URL is http://blackboard.lincoln.ac.uk/bbcswebdav/users/dmeyerdinkgrafe/index.htm. The current issue is
Volume 8 Number 3, December 2007; and contains an article by Emilie Crapoulet ‘Consciousness
and the Imagination in the Music of the French Impressionists’.
Submissions,
enquiries and finished material, no longer than 10,000 words excluding

University of Lincoln, Lincoln LN6 7TS, England).
Long ago in one of our bibliographical
excursions we listed the articles on Wilde
that had appeared in ELT up to that time.
This has now been updated in our Bibliographies section. We are now monitoring ELT regularly. We are pleased to report that Wilde is one of
the four writers featured on its newly design home page (December 2007). More information on ELT can be found at www.uncg.edu/eng/elt/. (ELT’s indices are searchable online). It should not be confused with English Language in Transition, which is
principally a pedagogic journal devoted to the teaching of English as a foreign
language. The latest issues are Vol 51 No 1. & 2. The

In-between
is an open Journal, edited by Gulshan Taneja, which carries essays and book reviews on a wide
variety of areas of academic interest. Essays–peer-reviewed–can focus on
subjects ranging from Beowulf to Beckett and beyond, though the largest number
of articles on a single author so far has been on Wilde in six different
issues. A bibliography of these is published in the BIBLIOGRAPHIES appendix of THE OSCHOLARS.
Books being reviewed should not have
been published before the previous calendar year. Review copies are generally
made available, if required and requested well in time.
In-between prefers
British spelling, single quotation marks and outside punctuation, and footnotes
rather than endnotes. Please submit both an electronic copy and a hard copy by

Intellectual
News is the journal of the International Society for Intellectual
History, created in 1994 to foster communication and interaction among the
international community of intellectual historians and scholars working in
related fields. As agreed upon at its founding, the Society will make no
attempt to define intellectual history as having only one approach. The Society
therefore invites membership from scholars working in such
diverse fields as art and music, religion and literature, philosophy, politics,
and the sciences. The goal of the Society is two-fold: to bring together
scholars working in the field of intellectual history and in related fields;
and to provide this international community of scholars with a forum for
debating and discussing various approaches to the study of intellectual
history. A Conference was held at Birkbeck College, University of London, 17th-20th April
2007.
The journal is now published for the Society by Routledge,
three times a year from 2007, under the title Intellectual History Review and edited by Professor Stephen Clucas of
Tables of Contents of past issues can be found on the Society’s website, but be warned:
the last noted is No. 15 Spring 2005
(forthcoming). The current issue (Volume 17, issue 3, 2007)
has no articles relalting to our period. Click the banner.

historical and theoretical approaches the editors welcome contributions that
reach across national boundaries and illuminate intercultural contact zones.

stretching from the American and French Revolutions, at one end, to the
outbreak of World War I, at the other.

the Autumn 2006 edition were listed in our December issue. The
only article in the current issue relating to our period is ‘Wicked with Roses’: Floral Femininity and the Erotics of Scent by Christina Bradstreet, who explores nineteenth-century constructions
of femininity by looking at the motif of women inhaling floral fragrance in

Victorian period is available electronically and is included in the cost of a

N.B. Various
attempts to raise the VSB page have been unsuccessful throughout 2007. The journal is still promoted on the Victoria
Research Web at http://victorianresearch.org/vsb.html,
but without giving it a web address; the link from Mitsu
Matsuoka’s page of Victorian Web Sites http://www.indiana.edu/~victoria/vsb.html
only brings a page not found notice. We welcome news.

Founded in 1962 to further the aesthetic study
of the poetry of the Victorian period (1830-1914) in Britain, Victorian Poetry today publishes
articles from a broad range of theoretical/critical angles, including but not
confined to new historicism, feminism, and social/cultural issues. The journal
has expanded its purview from the major figures of Victorian England (Tennyson,
Browning, the Rossettis, etc.) to a wider compass of
poets of all classes and gender identifications in nineteenth-century Britain
and the Commonwealth. Publisher: West Virginia University Press.
To commemorate the centenary of the death of
Algernon Charles Swinburne, Rikky Rooksby
and Terry Meyers are editing a
special issue (for Winter 2009) of Victorian
Poetry dedicated to the life and works of the poet. They seek for
consideration essays of every sort, critical, biographical, and bibliographic. They set no particular requirements beyond
lucidity and interest.
Deadline: Immediate. Direct submissions and other correspondence to Terry Meyers @ or to Rikky Rooksby @.
The latest issue is Volume 45, Number 3, Fall 2007 and it can be found at
