Oscar Wilde, His Life and Confessions Summary
| By talent and conviction he was the natural pet of the aristocracy whose selfish prejudices he defended and whose leisure he amused. The middle class, as has been noted, disliked and despised him: but its social influence is small and its papers, and especially "Punch", made him notorious by attacking him in and out of season. The comic weekly, indeed, helped to build up his reputation by the almost inexplicable bitterness of its invective. |

| Written by his close friend Harris, this biography of Wilde takes us to the deep recesses of his mind and soul. Though Harris is said to have given in to his imagination in recounting some events, in general the book shows his respect and regard for his comrade. He criticizes the harsh treatment meted out to this once-beloved wit stemming from general censure for his personal leanings. Absorbing! |
