NOTE: book contains some explicit photographs inappropriate for children. "I'll be a poet, a writer, a dramatist. Somehow or other I'll be famous, and if not famous, I'll be notorious," predicted Oscar Wilde. He may not have known what he would do when he left Oxford University in 1887, but he was sure that, whatever it was, he would do it in style and in the city of London. Now, authors Von Eckardt, Gilman, and Chamberlin offer a vivid portrait of the city that Oscar Wilde made and that made Oscar Wilde. Through evocative words and pictures, we discover the city of Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India~the capital of the empire that bravely bore "the white man's burden" but could not bear its own industrial grime and drudgery. Here is London in all its fascinating contradictions: the gas~lit luxury and back~street intrigue, drawing room wit and poorhouse humor, teenage prostitutes and ladies who profess to be offended by the sight of bare piano limbs. This is a city of etiquette books and feminism, intellectual coteries and bawdy public houses. It is the London of decadence and idealistic reform, of the Aesthetic movement which pitted Beauty against the machine, of great theaters such as Gilbert and Sullivan's Savoy, and of such wonderful writers as the Brownings, Tennyson, Barrie, Shaw, and Huxley. With its narrative infused with quotes from luminaries of the day, and accompanied by a gallery of rare photographs, paintings, sketches, cartoons, and posters, OSCAR WILDE'S LONDON reveals an epoch as eccentric, notorious, and brilliant as Wilde himself. It is an authoritative and captivating testament to a time and artist that dared to demand something new, and forever changed the face of a city, and of the world.
