One of the great editors of the late 19th century, and author of the scandalous My Life and Loves, Frank Harris was one of the few friends who remained loyal to Oscar Wilde after his conviction in 1895 and release from jail two years later. Here is Harris's re-creation of Wilde's triumphant rise and notorious downfall--republished to tie-in to a new film of Wilde's life starring Stephen Fry.

Oscar Wilde
Beautifully written, it is quite a pageturner. But it known for being inaccurate and selfserving, it is almost as much about Harris as it is about Wilde. Harris reproduces lies and rumors about Wilde and it's hard to even trust the conversations he claims to have had with Wilde. But it gives an insight in Wilde as he would have appeared to another Englishman at the time.
His portrait of Wilde is full of contradictions, but at the same time it is a very intimate portrait. And though it doesn't portrait Oscar Wilde the way som admirers would like to remember him, it could still be accurate.
The book is a must read, but to understand Oscar Wilde one has to read at least one more biography.
