Barbara Belford Libri

"Streckenweise liest sich diese Biographie wie ein Roman."

Ein auf ihren Tagebüchern basierendes Porträt der englischen Schriftstellerin (1862-1942), die mit ihren leidenschaftlcihen Beziehungen die viktoriansiche Gesellschaft durcheinanderwirbelte

The 19th-century's famous poet and author is often portrayed as a tragic figure, persecuted and shunned. In this fresh and engaging biography, Wilde emerges in his final years as a deeply moving human being who realizes his creative years are behind him and commits himself to a life of sexual freedom. The quotations that made his comedies triumph are woven into the narrative. Photo insert.
