Mayfair has featured in a number of novels including P. G. Wodehouse's "The Mating Season" (1949) and Evelyn Waugh's "A Handful of Dust," (1934). It is a partial setting for Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" (1811) and Michael Arlen's "The Green Hat" (1924). Oscar Wilde lived in Grosvenor Square between 1883 and 1884 and referred to it in his works. He regularly socialised in the artistic quarter along Half Moon Street, which is mentioned in both "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
