A biography of the famed Victorian poet, playwright, literary critic, and aesthete, whose career was destroyed by his conviction and imprisonment in 1895 on vice charges. Ellmann, a professor of English at Oxford University, spent more than a decade researching and writing this study, which remains the definitive account of Wilde's life to this day.

Publisher Notes
The biography sensitive to the tragic pattern of the story of a great subject: Oscar Wilde--psychologically and sexually complicated, enormously quotable, central to a alluring cultural world and someone whose life assumed an unbearably dramatic shape.
