Oscar said that in an interview for The Sketch. However, at the Oscar Wilde Society we believe that we have never
been regarded as a 'clique' and at none of our events, which are invariably the most civilised of occasions, has a
meat tea ever been served. Indeed, many of our members are glad to say that they have never seen a meat tea.
Founded in 1990, The Oscar Wilde Society is a literary society devoted to the congenial appreciation of Oscar Wilde.
It is a non-profit making organisation which aims to promote knowledge, appreciation and study of Wilde's life, personality, and works.
It organises lectures, readings, and discussions about Wilde and his works, and visits to places associated with him.
The Society's Journal of Oscar Wilde Studies, "The Wildean", is published twice a year. The illustrated Newsletter Journal "Intentions" is published six times a year.
