Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Oscar Wilde "The heroes of literary as well as civil history have been very often no less remarkable for what they have suffered than for what they have achieved; and volumes have been written only to enumerate the miseries of the learned, and relate their unhappy lives and untimely deaths. "To these mournful narratives, I am about to add the life of... a man whose writings entitle him to an eminent rank in the classes of learning, and whose misfortunes claim a degree of compassion not always due to the unhappy, as they were often the consequences of the crimes of others rather than his own."

Download or read book Oscar Wilde written by Matthew Sturgis and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fullest, most textural, most accurate—most human—account of Oscar Wilde's unique and dazzling life—based on extensive new research and newly discovered materials, from Wilde's personal letters and transcripts of his first trial to newly uncovered papers of his early romantic (and dangerous) escapades and the two-year prison term that shattered his soul and his life. "Simply the best modern biography of Wilde." —Evening Standard Drawing on material that has come to light in the past thirty years, including newly discovered letters, documents, first draft notebooks, and the full transcript of the libel trial, Matthew Sturgis meticulously portrays the key events and influences that shaped Oscar Wilde's life, returning the man "to his times, and to the facts," giving us Wilde's own experience as he experienced it. Here, fully and richly portrayed, is Wilde's Irish childhood; a dreamy, aloof boy; a stellar classicist at boarding school; a born entertainer with a talent for comedy and a need for an audience; his years at Oxford, a brilliant undergraduate punctuated by his reckless disregard for authority . . . his arrival in London, in 1878, "already noticeable everywhere" . . . his ten-year marriage to Constance Lloyd, the father of two boys; Constance unwittingly welcoming young men into the household who became Oscar's lovers, and dying in exile at the age of thirty-nine . . . Wilde's development as a playwright. . . becoming the high priest of the aesthetic movement; his successes . . . his celebrity. . . and in later years, his irresistible pull toward another—double—life, in flagrant defiance and disregard of England's strict sodomy laws ("the blackmailer's charter"); the tragic story of his fall that sent him to prison for two years at hard labor, destroying his life and shattering his soul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oscar Wilde For many years ordinary people to whom literature and literary affairs were not of, at anyrate, absorbing interest only knew of Oscar Wilde by his extravagances and poses. Then it happened that Wilde turned his powers in the direction of the stage and achieved a swift and brilliant success. The English public then began to realise that here was an unusually brilliant man, and the extraordinary genius of the subject of this work would have certainly been universally recognised in a few more years, when the shocking scandals associated with his name occurred and Oscar Wilde disappeared into oblivion. A great change gradually took place in public opinion. Little by little the feeling of prejudice against the work of Oscar Wilde began to die away. The man himself was dead.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oscar Wilde: A Critical Study I wish to thank Mr. Robert Ross, Wilde's literary executor, Who has helped me in every possible way, allowed me to read many of the letters that Wilde addressed to him, and given much time out of a very busy life to the verification, from documents in his possession, of the biographical facts included in my book. I wish to thank Mr. Walter Ledger for much interesting information, and for the sight of many rare editions of Wilde's books that made possible the correction of several bibliographical errors into which I had fallen. I wish to thank Mr. Martin Seeker for putting at my disposal his collection of late nineteenth-century literature. I wish to thank an anonymous author for lend ing me the proof-sheets of a forthcoming book, which will contain a full and accurate account of the legal proceedings for and against Wilde.

Book excerpt: For Wilde, as for many people, reading could be as powerful and transformative an experience as falling in love. He devoured books, talked books, luxuriated in books and lavished books on his friends- they played, too, a vital part in his seductions of young men. Oscar's Books tells the story of Wilde's life through his reading, from his childhood in Dublin, where he was nurtured on Celtic myth, Romantic poetry and Irish folklore; through his undergraduate years in which he built his intellect out of books; to prison, where his friends supplied him with literature which saved his sanity; to his final years in Paris where he consoled himself with old favourites such as Flaubert and Balzac. Fresh, utterly engaging and wholly original, Oscar's Books is an entirely new kind of biography.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Writings of Oscar Wilde: His Life, With a Critical Estimate of His Writings The reaction which has so steadily set in within the last year or two as regards the literary remains of Oscar Wilde calls persistently for a complete edition of his works. The verdict of the posterity of to-day - that alien homage which the prophet unhonored in his own country receives from the stranger abroad - has reacted upon the present gen cration at home and has replaced Wilde's statue on that pedestal in the domestic Pantheon whence it had fallen, as men deemed forever.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oscar Wilde: Fragments and Memories Arly in the nineties Clyde Fitch, an ambitious young American, had a play produced in London.\ After the final curtain some rowdies in the pit coaxed the inexperienced playwright to appear before the footlights and proceeded to boo and hiss him off as soon as he stepped in view. But the young man was not crushed. They will have to applaud me yet, he exclaimed, and his subsequent meteoric career proved that he had fine talents. At that time, however, there were few in London who would listen to his verses, stories, and plays, and fewer still tobuy them. In a notebook of the period we find him paraphrasing an ancient pessimistic troubadour, My fate is like the nightingale's, That singeth all night long, While still the woodlands mournfully But echo back his song.

One may wonder whether it were not the high fates who so gratified him in order that, from his purgatory, he might rise to a life more evolved. But that view is perhaps obvious. Wilde himself, who was the least mystic of men, accepted it. In the De Pro fundis, after weighing his disasters, he said Of these things I am not yet worthy.
