Beschrijving
Original black boards, gilt lettered spine, dust jacket, 8vo. About Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas.
Samenvatting
The love story of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas surely ranks among the world's greatest romantic tragedies. After Wilde's tragic bid to sue the Marquis of Queensberry for libel ended in total humiliation, with his imprisonment, exile and early death in Paris at the age of 46, the London literati split into bitterly opposed camps. Some have believed that Bosie deserted a friend in need, others that Wilde was the innocent victim of a long-running family feud between an obsessed father and his pampered son. Fuelled by the surviving correspondence, successive biographies and Bosie's own polemical writing, the arguments have merely intensified over the years. Of Wilde, however, the question will always remain: Why did he bring about his own downfall?
