This collection contains material related to Oscar Wilde from the collection of A.J.A. Symons, including both Symons' own creative and scholarly work, as well as items gathered in the course of his research. Items include corrected proofs, typescripts, and items originally from the collection of Christopher Millard.

A large number of letters and other items originally acquired as a part of this collection have already been cataloged separately and can be found through the Clark Library's finding aids to the Wilde circle. More information about this collection and its acquisition are detailed in the provenance note in this finding aid; there is also a scan of the original collection inventory from 1965 attached here as a supplement, as well as multiple paper copies in Box 1/Folder 3.
