Anyone Interested in Oscar Wilde?

Unread post

My book Wilde's Women: How Oscar Wilde was Shaped by the Women he knew examines the lives of the many wonderful, ambitious and accomplished women who influenced the work and life of this colourful and witty Irish writer. Hailed as a gay icon and pioneer of individualism, Oscar Wilde's insistence that 'there should be no law for anybody' made him a staunch defender of gender equality. Throughout his life from his relationship to his extraordinary mother Jane and the tragedy of his sister Isola's early death to his accomplished wife, Constance, and a coterie of other free-thinking writers, actors and artists, women were a central aspect of his life and career. Wilde's Women is the first book to tell the story of his female friends and colleagues who traded witticisms with Wilde but also give him access to vital publicity and whose ideas he gave expression through his social comedies.
