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 époque" 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 New York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House, 1988 hardcover
