For most of us there is the surprise and satisfaction of discovering that even the greatest masters have suffered the ignominy of a quick knockout: Morphy mated in 12 moves Capablanca in 13 and the great Emanuel Lasker in 14!.

It was my custom and that of several others to walk round and watch his play at golf but I never even saw him compete for the Medal or in any greater contest than a match over both Links with Andrew Kirkcaldy. We used to make little bets with him in ordinary matches that he would not do the round under seventy-eight or some such figure and we were apt to lose our halfcrowns. At first his extraordinary driving was the chiet attraction but he later aimed more at accuracy and drove much within his powers. I remember his coming into the Club and asking whether it was worth while to measure a drive he had made. He had in fact "overpowered" the Heathery Hole the thirteenth as you come in on the right-hand course. The drive has been disputed and I only narrate what I remember. Perhaps my recollection is inaccurate. He was playing behind his brother Willie and when the brother and partner had played their second Freddie's ball flew over their heads and lighted on the long narrow table-land which there crosses the Links. Freddie on approaching the hole could not find his ball and I think gave up the hole and then found his ball about "hole-high." The day was of a light frost brilliantly sunny and with the faintest flicker of air no breeze. I remember seeing Mr. Tait measuring the distance to the place where the ball was found and I think the whole extent was about 350 yards the "carry" being about 250 yards.

In the present instance this paradox has less truth than ever. The writer was in no sense the disciple of Oscar Wilde; he was indeed as strongly antagonistic to most of his principles ethical artistic and philosophical as he was warmly disposed to him for his many endearing qualities and captivating graces. His qualifications arise from the facts that for the period of sixteen years preceding Oscar Wilde's death he was intimately acquainted with him that his friendship with him -of which elsewhere a true record exists-was continuous and uninterrupted save by that act of God which puts a period to all human companionships that he was with him at times when all others had withdrawn and that for the very reason that he was not in sympathy with any of the affectations which towards others Oscar Wilde used to assume the man as he truly was the man as God and Nature had made him was perhaps better known to him than to most of his other associates. The method of treatment which was adopted in that earlier record to which reference has been made above being no longer imperative here has been abandoned with all the more alacrity on the part of the author that he has ever been in complete concordance with the general preference of objective to subjective treatment in the matter of biography. To-day what three years ago was utterly impossible he may yield to his own inclinations because to-day it has become admissible that a biography of Oscar Wilde can be written and made public. The writer has no longer to seek how to arouse interest in his subject through the graduated emotions of curiosity pity amazement and sympathy. It is open to him to record facts without having to palliate the offence of so recording them by an exposition of their incidence upon others. The upward climb the attainment the joys of conquest the catastrophe the precipitation and the horrors of the abyss may now be depicted upon his canvas in plain fashion. The reader shall see them as they were; he shall no longer be coaxed by a cunning elicitation of his sympathy for the teller of the story to listen to a tale against which prejudice the voice of public opinion and his own conception of what it is seemly and expedient for him to hear are ever prompting him to close his ears."--Robert Sherard ; also included is an important extensive Bibliography Contents: Works issued in book form -- Authorised editions published in England -- Works published in America only -- Works published in privately printed editions only -- Magazines and periodicals -- Books containing selections -- Spurious works -- Translations -- Franch -- German -- Italian -- Polish -- Russian -- Spanish -- Swedish ; wear foxing else VG.

In the nights after Wilde gives his talks a man with a knife goes lurking in the back alleys and red-light districts of these dusty western towns. Each morning the police find the remains of a savagely murdered prostitute. Booze-addled detective Earl Grigsby is tracking the killer and suspects Wilde may be the one with blood on his hands.

More astute and forbearing yet more fallible than legend has allowed Wilde is given here the dimensions of a modern hero. The author depicts Wilde's comet-like ascent on the Victorian scene and his equally dramatic sudden eclipse. He presents Wilde's Irish background the actresses to whom he paid court his unfortunate wife and lovers his clothes coiffures and the decor of his rooms. The saga of his 1882 American tour is recounted with a wealth of new details; also his later impact on the bastions of the French literary establishment. The London of the Nineties of Whistler and the Pre-Raphaelites Lillie Langtry and the Prince of Wales is evoked alongside Paris of the "belle �poque" and the Greece Italy and North Africa of Wilde's travels. This critical account of Wilde's entire oeuvre shows him as the proponent of a radical new aesthetic who was perilously at odds with Victorian society. After his period of success and daring the fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas is followed by exposure imprisonment a few wretched years abroad and death in exile. The tragic end of Wilde's life leaves the reader with a sense of compassion and grief for the protagonist." ; arguably the greatest biography of Wilde in existence ; remainder mark at bottom ; tiny crease on front endpaper ; else FINE/FINE.

More astute and forbearing yet more fallible than legend has allowed Wilde is given here the dimensions of a modern hero. The author depicts Wilde's comet-like ascent on the Victorian scene and his equally dramatic sudden eclipse. He presents Wilde's Irish background the actresses to whom he paid court his unfortunate wife and lovers his clothes coiffures and the decor of his rooms. The saga of his 1882 American tour is recounted with a wealth of new details; also his later impact on the bastions of the French literary establishment. The London of the Nineties of Whistler and the Pre-Raphaelites Lillie Langtry and the Prince of Wales is evoked alongside Paris of the "belle �poque" and the Greece Italy and North Africa of Wilde's travels. This critical account of Wilde's entire oeuvre shows him as the proponent of a radical new aesthetic who was perilously at odds with Victorian society. After his period of success and daring the fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas is followed by exposure imprisonment a few wretched years abroad and death in exile. The tragic end of Wilde's life leaves the reader with a sense of compassion and grief for the protagonist." ; arguably the greatest biography of Wilde in existence ; remainder mark at bottom ; FINE/FINE.
