Abstract

The article presents information on new manuscript evidence regarding writer Oscar Wilde's self-plagiarism. There are two books named "Pall Mall Gazette" and "Women's World" and his critical dialogues in writings are symbols of plagiarism. The kind of borrowing observed in the writings of Wilde is the most conspicuous example and his reuse of large portions is common. In case of Wilde's criticism, there are several extant manuscripts but hardly read by scholars. The article also describes how Wilde settled the thoughts very easily.
