About this book

Wilde's writing comes before the scandal in this 1912 study by Arthur Ransome, who had already written on Bohemia in London and Edgar Allan Poe. Ransome says he first wished to write about the work with no mention of the man and his tragedy. The chapters run from a biographical summary through the poems, aestheticism, prose, Intentions and the theatre to De Profundis and Wilde's last years, 1897 to 1900.

Robert Ross, Wilde's literary executor, helped by letting him read Wilde's letters to him.

Arthur Ransome

Arthur Ransome (1884-1967) was an English author and journalist who reported from Russia during its revolution before turning to fiction for the young. His Swallows and Amazons series, drawn from real summers in the Lake District, made him one of the best loved writers of outdoor adventure for children.
