This surprising survival has been welcomed by all who know that letters can be the best kind of travelling or bedside reading. George Lyttelton was a retired schoolmaster who began to exchange letters with Rupert Hart-Davis, a London publisher, one of Lyttelton's students at Eton. The correspondence began in 1955 when Lyttelton was 72 and Hart-Davis was 48.

When Sir Rupert Hart-Davis's magnificent edition of The Letters of Oscar Wilde was first published in 1962, Cyril Connolly called it "a must for everyone who is seriously interested in the history of English literature - or European morals." From this edition, long out of print, Hart-Davis has culled a representative sample of the letters from each period of Wilde's life, "giving preference," as he says in his Introduction, "to those of literary interest, to the most amusing, and to those that throw light on his life and work." The long letter to Lord Alfred Douglas, known as De Profundis is printed in its entirety.

George Lyttelton - a former master at Eton - once complained at a dinner at which Rupert Hart-Davis - former Eton pupil, publisher and man of letters - was present, that he was bored and that no one ever wrote to him. This is a paperback collection of the celebrated correspondence that ensued. Rupert Hart-Davis reports from the front line of the London literary battlefield, when not pursuing Wildean minutiae for his famous edition of Oscar's letters, while George fulminates from his summerhouse on this age of jaw and how it darkens counsel. That thrawn old dyspeptic Carlyle is praised as much as the pernicious and joyless influence of F.R. Leavis is condemned. Equally, broad beans, fried sole and the right sort of cold ham are listed as foods never to be turned down.
