He was both an early exponent and a victim of 'celebrity culture': famous for being famous, he was lauded and ridiculed in equal measure. His achievements were frequently downplayed, his successes resented. He had a genius for comedy but strove to write tragedies. He was an unabashed snob who nevertheless delighted in exposing the faults of society. He affected a dandified disdain but was prone to great acts of kindness. Although happily married, he became a passionate lover of men and - at the very peak of his success - brought disaster upon himself. He disparaged authority, yet went to the law to defend his love for Lord Alfred Douglas. Having delighted in fashionable throngs, Wilde died almost alone: barely a dozen people were at his graveside. Yet despite this ruinous end, Wilde's star continues to shine brightly. His was a life of quite extraordinary drama. Above all, his flamboyant refusal to conform to the social and sexual orthodoxies of his day make him a hero and an inspiration to all who seek to challenge convention. In the first major biography of Oscar Wilde in thirty years, Matthew Sturgis draws on a wealth of new material and fresh research to place the man firmly in the context of his times. He brings alive the distinctive mood and characters of *60014$aWilde, Oscar$d1854-1900$6(NO-LaBS)756720-1$_10602100 *65007$a1800-tallet$9nob$2Bokbasen AS$_30214900 *65007$aForfattere$9nob$2Bokbasen AS$_30216500 *651 7$aIrland$2Bokbasen AS$_11201000 *655 7$aBiografier$9nob$2Bokbasen AS$_30421600 *85641$amedia.boknett.no$uhttps://media.boknett.no/objects/29/73/150307329/productimage_ORG_6c64aa5578bf6ef8f5d3001a4712cdd0f82f823b.jpg$nBokbasen, Oslo$qimage/jpeg ^
