Book excerpt: This book presents Lady Wilde's letters to her son, Oscar Wilde, correspondence which began when Oscar left Trinity College, Dublin, to attend Oxford University and ended just before Oscar was charged in 1895 with offenses under Section Eleven of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1895. The letters provide insight into Oscar's relationship with his mother and indicate how much he helped her financially when she was unable to cope with the demands upon her dwindling income.

Download or read book Legends, Charms and Superstitions of Ireland written by Lady Wilde and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowhere in the nineteenth century did interest in folklore and mythology have a more thorough revival than in Ireland. There, in 1887, Lady Francesca Speranza Wilde, Oscar Wilde's mother and a well-known author in her own right, compiled this collection of charming, authentic folk tales. Collected from among the peasantry and retaining their original simplicity, the myths and legends reveal delightfully the Irish people's relationship with a spiritual and invisible world populated by fairies, elves, and evil beings. Included in Lady Wilde's collection, among others, are eerie tales of "The Horned Women," "The Holy Well and the Murderer," and "The Bride's Death-Song," as well as beguiling accounts of superstitions concerning the dead, celebrations and rites, animal legends, and ancient charms. The first book to link Irish folklore with nationalism, Legends illustrates the mythic underpinnings of the Irish character and signals the country's cultural reemergence. It remains, said the Evening Mail, "an important contribution to the literature of Ireland and the world's stock of folklore."

Download or read book What The Butler Saw written by Joe Orton and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Joe Orton's last play, What the Butler Saw, will live to be accepted as a comedy classic of English literature" (Sunday Telegraph) The chase is on in this breakneck comedy of licensed insanity, from the moment when Dr Prentice, a psychoanalyst interviewing a prospective secretary, instructs her to undress. The plot of What the Butler Saw contains enough twists and turns, mishaps and changes of fortune, coincidences and lunatic logic to furnish three or four conventional comedies. But however the six characters in search of a plot lose the thread of the action - their wits or their clothes - their verbal self-possession never deserts them. Hailed as a modern comedy every bit as good as Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, Orton's play is regularly produced, read and studied. What the Butler Saw was Orton's final play."He is the Oscar Wilde of Welfare State gentility" (Observer)

Book excerpt: “A lively debut biography of the flamboyant Irish writer . . . focusing on the women who loved and supported him” (Kirkus Reviews). In this essential work, Eleanor Fitzsimons reframes Oscar Wilde’s story and his legacy through the women in his life, including such scintillating figures as Florence Balcombe; actress Lillie Langtry; and his tragic and witty niece, Dolly, who, like Wilde, loved fast cars, cocaine, and foreign women. Fresh, revealing, and entertaining, full of fascinating detail and anecdotes, Wilde’s Women relates the untold story of how a beloved writer and libertine played a vitally sympathetic role on behalf of many women, and how they supported him in the midst of a Victorian society in the process of changing forever. “Fitzsimons reminds us of the many writers, actresses, political activists, professional beauties and aristocratic ladies who helped shape the life and legend of the era’s greatest wit, esthete and sexual martyr . . . provide[s] a potted biography of the multitalented writer and gay icon . . . highly enjoyable.” —The Washington Post “Fitzsimons brilliantly calls attention to the progressive ideas and beliefs which drew the most daring and interesting women of the time to his side. The depth and painstaking care of Fitzsimons’ research is a fitting tribute to Wilde’s fascinating life and exquisite writing—and really, what better compliment is there than that?” —High Voltage

Download or read book Lady Jane Wilde's Letters to Fröken Lotten Von Kraemer, 1857-1885 written by Lady Wilde and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume of Lady Jane Wilde's letters to be published. Its contents help to dispel some of the malicious rumors about the Wildes' repeated in most biographies. Lady Jane Wilde was a poet, essayist, intellectual, and fighter for Ireland and women's rights in the second half of the nineteenth century. She wrote many letters from her home in Dublin and later from London connecting her to people with whom she felt empathy, some of whom she rarely saw. One such friend was the Swedish feminist and author, Lotten von Kraemer, who lived in Uppsala, a difficult journey from Dublin. Lotten saved Jane's letters - as did a number of her correspondents - and the collection is now housed in the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm. Jane's bond with Lotten was strengthened through her letters in which she expressed her affection and respect for Lotten and Sweden and wrote of shared interests - writing, women's education and rights, and books. Jane also revealed much of herself in her letters, including her ambition to be a reputable writer as well as a caring wife and mother.

Download or read book The Spectral Arctic written by Shane McCorristine and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visitors to the Arctic enter places that have been traditionally imagined as otherworldly. This strangeness fascinated audiences in nineteenth-century Britain when the idea of the heroic explorer voyaging through unmapped zones reached its zenith. The Spectral Arctic re-thinks our understanding of Arctic exploration by paying attention to the importance of dreams and ghosts in the quest for the Northwest Passage. The narratives of Arctic exploration that we are all familiar with today are just the tip of the iceberg: they disguise a great mass of mysterious and dimly lit stories beneath the surface. In contrast to oft-told tales of heroism and disaster, this book reveals the hidden stories of dreaming and haunted explorers, of frozen mummies, of rescue balloons, visits to Inuit shamans, and of the entranced female clairvoyants who travelled to the Arctic in search of John Franklin’s lost expedition. Through new readings of archival documents, exploration narratives, and fictional texts, these spectral stories reflect the complex ways that men and women actually thought about the far North in the past. This revisionist historical account allows us to make sense of current cultural and political concerns in the Canadian Arctic about the location of Franklin’s ships.

Download or read book The Oscar Wilde World of Gossip written by Neil Titley and published by . This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oscar Wilde World of Gossip is an illuminating, hilarious and altogether astonishing collection of pen-portraits of over 300 of Wilde's friends and enemies, linked by brief notes on his life story. An unrivaled treasure trove bursting with spell-binding stories, The Oscar Wilde World of Gossip effortlessly carries the reader from gutter to palace, from college to courtroom, from battlefield to brothel and rips the veil from the licentious reality of Victorian life. Simultaneously a 'dip-in' reference book and a continuous narrative, it is an exuberant compendium of malicious rumour, salacious detail, and backstabbing one-liners. It is also, without question, the funniest book ever written about the Age of Wilde.
