The Portrait of Mr. W. H. was published in a periodical in 1889 and subsequently added to the Lord Arthur Savile collection. Likewise the six prose poems entitled Poems in Prose first appeared together in The Fortnightly Review of 1894 and were separately published in 1905 as was the essay, The Rise of Historical Criticism (in the US; it had originally been written by Wilde at Oxford in 1879), before being collected for the first time in this edition.
