Stephen Calloway

David Colvin

An incisive moral and political thinker, wit, and brilliant critic, Oscar Wilde was without question the greatest literary figure of the fin de siecle. At the height of his talent he had the world at his feet. But then it all went tragically wrong. Tried and jailed for homosexual offenses, he spent his last days a broken man in France shunned by almost everyone who had feted him. This is Oscar Wilde's story, written by Stephen Calloway and David Colvin, with a dazzling collection of photographs and illustrations of his life and contemporaries.
