Description
Oscar Wilde's life has never been more captivating than in this beautifully illustrated biography. Through his own words - private letters, poems, plays, stories and legendary witticisms - we gain insight into the life of one of literature's most fascinating figures. The book explores Wilde's relationships with key artists and writers of the time, as well as his experiences after a highly publicised trial that had far-reaching consequences. With a treasure trove of illustrations by renowned artists such as Aubrey Beardsley, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, James Whistler and Max Beerbohm, this book is a stunning evocation of the fin de siecle world. Wilde's writing from prison and exile reveals profound insights into his thoughts on life, art and society, making this biography not only a personal portrait but also a testament to the era in which he lived.
