Review

416 pages, hardcover

Published for the centenary of his death, here is a fresh and engaging look at one of the most talked about literary figures of the nineteenth century. Wilde's personality shaped an era, and his popularity as a wit and dramatist has never ebbed. This biography deals with Wilde's sexuality in a more straightforward manner and Wilde, as a tragic figure emerges as a deeply moving human being who realizes that his creative years are behind him and commits himself to a life of sexual freedom, which he insisted was the privilege of every artist.
