The Poet, the Actress, Jezebel, and Simon of Cyrene, 1993-1994, 2000

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 123

Scope and Contents

Includes some scans of unpublished Wilde poems in prose (short stories) of dubious authority - especially in reference to the works "Jezebel", "Simon of Cyrene", and "The Actress". The latter three poems were privately printed in a pamphlet titled Echoes along with a version of Wilde's "The Poet", but Fong and Beckson concluded that there was not enough evidence to support the claim that these three poems had been written by Wilde as well.
