Description
Oscar Wilde's remarkable story has been shaped by his own words and actions. This book offers a fresh perspective on his life, tracing the twists and turns of his journey from Victorian England to post-Civil War America. Wilde's early career was marked by sensation-hungry journalism and popular entertainment, alongside racial controversies and sex scandals. Michèle Mendelssohn brings to life the charming young Irishman who set out to captivate audiences with his words, only to face tumultuous challenges that embodied the story of the Victorian era as it tottered towards modernity. A masterful account of Wilde's life, Making Oscar Wilde combines new evidence and gripping cultural history to reveal a larger-than-life hero on an unforgettable adventure.
