Oscar Wilde
Vyvyan Holland
|
| 'For simplicity and sympathy, for lack of rancour or special pleading, the text of his volume could not be bettered' | – The Times
Literary Supplement |
A legendary figure of his generation, Oscar Wilde rapidly became the most successful playwright and the most celebrated wit in the English-speaking world. However, his downfall from being the darling of the salons to a object of the most vicious calumny was not only a remarkable cause célébre but also a pitiful tragedy.
Vyvyan Holland, Oscar Wilde's son, gives us many endearing glimpses of the private man, as well as the public figure.
