Author's typescript of the book printed in 1925. About half of the work is a lengthy letter from Lord Alfred Douglas to Frank Harris, dated 30 Apr. 1925, giving in detail the latter's financial and personal relations with Oscar Wilde. With a copy of the first edition (an inscribed presentation copy from Lord Alfred Douglas to George Sylvester Viereck), an A.L.S. from Douglas to Viereck (dated 31 March 1926), and a T.L.S. from Harris to Viereck (dated 1 Dec. 1925). The typescript has the notation "Sent to me by Frank Harris. George Sylvester Viereck," but this is in error, as an extant letter from Douglas to Viereck (23 Sept. 1925) informs the latter that a typescript was being sent to him by one Alfred Rose, from London, and this is confirmed by the enclosed letter of Harris. The copy of the first edition is inscribed "George Sylvester Viereck from Alfred Douglas. London. May, 1926." Both letters are apparently unpublished. Letters cataloged separately.

Oscar Wilde and Modern Culture: The Making of a Legend explores the meteoric rise, sudden fall, and legendary resurgence of an immensely influential writer’s reputation from his hectic 1881 American lecture tour to recent Hollywood adaptations of his dramas. Always renowned—if not notorious—for his fashionable persona, Wilde courted celebrity at an early age. Later, he came to prominence as one of the most talented essayists and fiction writers of his time. In the years leading up to his two-year imprisonment, Wilde stood among the foremost dramatists in London. But after he was sent down for committing acts of “gross indecency” it seemed likely that social embarrassment would inflict irreparable damage to his legacy. As this volume shows, Wilde died in comparative obscurity. Little could he have realized that in five years his name would come back into popular circulation thanks to the success of Richard Strauss’s opera Salome and Robert Ross’s edition of De Profundi. With each succeeding decade, the twentieth century continued to honor Wilde’s name by keeping his plays in repertory, producing dramas about his life, adapting his works for film, and devising countless biographical and critical studies of his writings. This volume reveals why, more than a hundred years after his demise, Wilde’s value in the academic world, the auction house, and the entertainment industry stands higher than that of any modern writer.

The Cambridge Companion to Oscar Wilde offers an essential introduction to one of the theatre's most important and enigmatic writers. Although a general overview, the volume also offers some of the latest thinking on the dramatist and his impact on the twentieth century. Part One places Wilde's work within the cultural and historical context of his time and includes an opening essay by Wilde's grandson, Merlin Holland. Further chapters also examine Wilde and the Victorians and his image as a Dandy. Part Two looks at Wilde's essential work as playwright and general writer, including his poetry, critiques, and fiction, and provides detailed analysis of such key works as Salome and The Importance of Being Earnest among others. The third group of essays examines the themes and factors which shaped Wilde's work and includes Wilde and his view of the Victorian woman, Wilde's sexual identities, and interpreting Wilde on stage. This 1997 volume also contains a detailed chronology of Wilde's work, a guide to further reading, and illustrations from important productions.
