An entirely new kind of biography, Built of Books explores the mind and personality of Oscar Wilde through his taste in books This intimate account of Oscar Wilde's life and writings is richer, livelier, and more personal than any book available about the brilliant writer, revealing a man who built himself out of books. His library was his reality, the source of so much that was vital to his life. A reader first, his readerly encounters, out of all of life's pursuits, are seen to be as significant as his most important relationships with friends, family, or lovers. Wilde's library, which Thomas Wright spent twenty years reading, provides the intellectual (and emotional) climate at the core of this deeply engaging portrait. One of the book's happiest surprises is the story of the author's adventure reading Wilde's library. Reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges's fictional hero who enters Cervantes's mind by saturating himself in the culture of sixteenth-century Spain, Wright employs Wilde as his own Virgilian guide to world literature. We come to understand how reading can be an extremely sensual experience, producing a physical as well as a spiritual delight.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 2, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), Veranstaltung: Social Criticism in Oscar Wilde's "An Ideal Husband" and "A Woman of No Importance", Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This homework will deal with the biography of Oscar Wilde. It is perhaps rather unusual for a homework in a course in literature to deal predominantly with the life of a writer. Usually, academic treatment of literature tries not to give too much attention to the mere biographical background of any writer whose works are discussed. But certainly the case of Oscar Wilde would be one to call for an exception from the rule As to the reasons for the unusual treatment of a writer in this respect, it can first of all - be stated that the dates and events in Oscar Wilde’s life are very well documented. Seemingly, the life of Oscar Wilde has, on the whole, been of greater interest to scholars than the synoptic analysis of his works. One scholar comments on the disproportion in academe between sifting through the life and analysing the works: “Es besagt viel, wenn man feststellt, wie wenig über sein Werk gesagt und wie ausführlich über sein Leben fabuliert wurde. [...] Das zahlenmäßige Missverhältnis zwischen Biographien und Werkuntersuchungen bestätigt nur die Beobachtung, dass sein Leben stets stärker die Aufmerksamkeit des Publikums auf sich gezogen hat als das, was er geschrieben hat.” He adds that such an approach is rather inappropriate: “Dies geriet einer gerechten Beurteilung seines oeuvre nicht zum Vorteil, sondern hat ihr eher geschadet.“ Be that as it may, any research will certainly reveal many significant links between the life and the works of Oscar Wilde. And here we have the second reason for the discussion of his biography in this homework: even the most superficial glance at the life will reveal that it is hardly possible to deal with life or oeuvre separately. One can find the anarchistic dandy, trying to live up to the principles of aestheticism, in both of them. In Oscar Wilde’s lifetime, his contemporaries of the Victorian age experienced “Oscar Wilde’s complex personality [, which] was full of contrasts, inner tensions and excesses”, as well as most of his works. It is not surprising that, being for the most part dramatic, Wilde’s works also contain many “contrasts, inner tensions and excesses” - if only in the form of a finely wrought bon mot of one of the notorious characters.

CHAPTER XVIII Oscar Wilde released--Sebastian Melmoth--Berneval--How he appeared to his Friends--The Prison Taint--Degradation which had not degraded--Why he could not work-- "The Case of Warder Martin "--" Don't read this "-- "The Ballad of Reading Gaol "--He proceeds to Naples --His Condition there--As to one of his Friends--He returns to Paris--The Testimony of the Police--Monsieur Dupoirier--His last Moments--Oscar Wilde is released-- His Burial and Grave--Post Funera--His Continental Reputation--The Significance of this Spendthrift Loss. After his release from Reading Gaol--having refused the offer of certain American journalists to pay him a large sum for an account of his life in prison, with the remark he could not understand that such offers should be made to a gentleman--he immediately crossed over to France. His deference to English society was such that he felt that, having offended his country, he must consign himself to a perpetual exile from England. For the rest, he had reason to expect sympathy and welcome in France, where his case at the time of his downfall had been widely discussed, with general commiseration. It was held that the man had been very harshly dealt with. Several prominent men had written about him. Henri de Regnier and Paul Adam, who already at that time held high positions in French literature, in which to-day they rank as masters, had published articles describing his great good qualities, and paying respectful homage to the convict in Wandsworth Gaol. Henri Bauer, an influential critic, had published an account of Wilde's condemnation and the treatment that was being dealt out to him, which thrilled civilised France with horror. A house had been taken for him at a village called Berneval, on the...

‘I have put my genius into my life but only my talent into my work’. So said Oscar Wilde of his remarkable life – a life more complex, more erotic, more troubled and more triumphant than any of his contemporaries ever knew or suspected. Neil McKenna’s The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde charts fully for the first time Oscar’s astonishing erotic odyssey through Victorian London’s sexual underworld. Oscar Wilde emerges as a man driven personally and creatively by his powerful desires for sex with men, and Neil McKenna argues compellingly and convincingly that Oscar’s Wilde’s life and work can only be fully understood and appreciated in terms of his sexuality. The book draws of a vast range of sources, many of them previously unpublished, and includes startling new material like the statements made to the police by the male prostitutes and blackmailers ranged against Oscar Wilde at his trial which have been lost for over a century. Dazzlingly written, The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde meticulously and brilliantly reconstructs Oscar Wilde’s emotional and sexual life, painting an astonishingly frank and vivid portrait of a troubled genius who chose to martyr himself for the cause of love between men.

"Beauty, Blissfulness & Tragedy: The Life of Oscar Wilde" is a biography of the famous Irish writer, poet and dramatist, written by his friend Frank Harris. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, Wilde became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays and poetry, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. Wilde is a central figure in aesthetic writing. His controversial, open lifestyle was the reason he was charged and eventually convicted for the crime of sodomy.
