BIBLIOGRAPHIES

J.P.WEARING

In March 2007 we were very pleased to be able to publish a bibliography of the works of J.P. Wearing, kindly provided for us by Peter Wearing himself.  Although Wilde has not been Professor Wearing’s chief interest, his work on late 19th / early 20th century theatre will be familiar to all Wilde scholars and is essential reading on the subject.  We updated this in December 2009.
