Recommendation to rename article

I would like to suggest we go with "The Witch In The Wood" since that is the original title of the novel, whereas "The Queen of Air and Darkness" is a later and much more concise reprint with virtually the same text. Furthermore, the article makes use of the book cover for "Witch", rather than "Queen", so it should naturally come to fold with one another. This is also to avoid confusion with the upcoming third installment (entitled "Queen of Air and Darkness") in Cassandra Clare's The Dark Artifices trilogy.

agree strongly, this would also avoid confusion with the Poul Anderson novelette of the same name. Surely the usual procedure would be to have an article under the original title, describing both versions, and pointing to the final fixup (iirc) in The Once and Future King? --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 14:51, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Title source

The source given for the title - Housman - is primary & may be OR. The dag page for "The Queen..." links to Shakespeare's Queen Mab amongst several others although I don't find the title in the speech from the play. The Mab article implies she is a folkloric figure -- perhaps the title comes from the lore? In any case we need a secondary source to say authoritatively White was quoting Housman (or whoever) NB: Check the other articles with this title per dag page --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 15:39, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Witch in the Wood comparison

Regardless of whether the artice title is changed, it would be an improvement if the differences between TWITW &TQOAAD were described, possibly also the version in The Once and Future King if that is substantially different. Don't have access to the first two at the moment -- in any case that would be OR wouldn't it? --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 16:05, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
