The charming aesthete Esmé Amarinthe and his beautiful young acolyte Reggie Hastings live for art and artifice and reject all that is natural and "middle-class". When in the society of their peers, Esmé and Reggie elucidate and pontificate through endless epigrams and ironies that shock and entertain.But when a very real proposition of marriage to a wealthy widow enters the equation, Reggie wonders if he should go through with it, or continue his life of passionate paradox with Mr. Amarinthe.Robert Hichen's satire of Oscar Wilde is a romp that skewers the aesthetic ideals of the era while at the same time delighting in them.

The Green Carnation, first published anonymously in 1894, was a scandalous novel by Robert Hichens whose lead characters are closely based on Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas - also known as "Bosie", whom the author personally knew. It was an instant succès de scandale on both sides of the Atlantic.The reviewer for The Observer wrote, "The Green Carnation will be read and discussed by everyone... nothing so impudent, so bold, or so delicious has been printed these many years."The book features the characters of "Esmé Amarinth" (Wilde), and "Lord Reginald (Reggie) Hastings" (Douglas). The words put in the mouths of the hero and his young friend in the story are mostly gathered from the sayings of their originals. Robert Hichens spent nearly a year "in the company of the men" and was able to accurately recreate the atmosphere and relationship between Oscar and Bosie.The book was withdrawn from circulation in 1895, but by that time the damage had been done. Wilde soon stood three consecutive trials for gross indecency and was sentenced to two years at hard labor. The Green Carnation was one of the works used against him by the prosecution.The Green Carnation was republished in 1948 with an introduction by the author, which also included Wilde's letter to the Pall Mall Gazette, October 2, 1894 denying he was the anonymous author. It was reissued in paperback in this form in 1992, and republished again in 2006 as a hardcover with a foreword by Anthony Wynn.

First published anonymously in 1894, The Green Carnation created a scandal that contributed to Oscar Wilde's downfall and was withdrawn from print for many years afterwards. Hichens was a friend of Wilde, but in love with 'Bosie'. He exacted revenge for his frustrated feelings by assiduously, and secretly, noting down their conversations, both public and more intimate and using them in this cruel satire on Wilde and his circle. Despite the less than sublime motivation behind its creation, the novel nevertheless preserves many examples of Wilde's brilliant wit which may have been otherwise lost to us and no one who loves his work should neglect this curious Edwardian production.

The Green Carnation' is a satire on the relationship between Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas and is a wicked window into the period. The title refers to green carnations as a corsage, a style prevalent in the 1890s about queer sexuality and decadence. It was one of the works used against Wilde in his prosecution, and its sale was banned during his trials.

Excerpt from The Green Carnation He slipped a green carnation into his evening coat, fixed it in its place with a pin, and looked at himself in the glass, the long glass that stood near the window of his London bedroom. The summer evening was so bright that he could see his double clearly, even though it was just upon seven o'clock. There he stood in his favourite and most characteristic attitude, with his left knee slightly bent, and his arms hanging at his sides, gazing, as a woman gazes at herself before she starts for a party. The low and continuous murmur of Piccadilly, like the murmur of a flowing tide on a smooth beach, stole to his ears monotonously, and inclined him insensibly to a certain thoughtfulness.
