I had never heard of the British 'Dial.' Looks quite interesting!

Thanks, Kevin! I came across this because the contributors were in Oscar Wilde's social circle, and had never heard of the (much longer running) American version until I started Googling for the British one.

Thanks, Phil. By the way, I think it will be best to do this project in the style where the project authors are listed as Various and each section has a listed author. I have not BCed a project like that before, so I wasn't sure what to change in the settings / recording instructions. EDIT: I have a...

The Dial: No. 1 by Charles Haslewood Shannon (1863 - 1937) and others . The Dial was an art magazine, which ran to five issues between 1889 and 1897. It was edited and published by Charles Shannon and Charles Ricketts from The Vale, their shared home in Chelsea, London. Contributors to this first n...

This is phenomenal!
Thanks SOO MUCH, Rob!!!

No worries, John. I’m planning a similar collection of Oscar Wilde interviews, so I am never off the Chronicling America site!

Hi John, The articles were all published simultaneously in The Sun (New York), which is publicly accessible on Chronicling America. Here are the links in case you prefer these for the etext links. I've not checked if the content is identical to the Chicago Herald. Aix-le-Bain https://chroniclingamer...

Thanks, Sonia I didn't know about bart/baronet, so thanks for that. I'll make the changes later. I was shocked to see Burne Jones dropped him. I hadn't heard that one before. Such a shame, because his Beguiling of Merlin is one of my favourite paintings: it hangs in a gallery near where I'm from. Bu...

Hey Rob! Thank you for yet another mission from Italy! By the way, in case you like films, have you watched Everett's "The Happy Prince"?

Thanks! Yes, I saw it a few times at the cinema. I liked it, although I think I prefer the Fry one overall. But they’re kind of each their own thing.

Here are my corrections. On both of these, it's clear I wasn't concentrating as I read originally, since neither made sense the way I read them! https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/weathercock_strange_2.mp3 https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/weathercock_strange_4.mp3 Brad Thanks, B...

My second submission, and another one about Wilde. A Talk With Mr. Oscar Wilde. By Gilbert Burgess (all I have been able to find out about this person is in a footnote of Wilde's De Profundis and Other Prison Writings , which says he lived 1868-1911 and was an "author and journalist". He was also a ...
