Oscar Wilde's early fame ensured that throughout his short life he
was written about by many of those he met. He was celebrated - or
mocked - as the master of the ingenious epigram, the provocative
paradox, the witty aside or the extravagant conceit. In researching
his monumental biography of Wilde Matthew Sturgis found, in every
major archive, sheets of foolscap in Wilde's distinctive
handwriting, setting down a series of unfamiliar epigrams -
unpublished try-outs.There were fascinating new discoveries. He
uncovered dozens of unfamiliar and previously ungathered anecdotes
about Wilde: sidelights on his days in Oxford, London, America and
Paris and beyond, by society hostesses, men-about-town, actors,
lawyers, minor litterateurs, artists and politicians, diligently
setting down his actions, his mannerisms and above all his sayings.
The items in this volume are all small additions to the Wilde
story: some unfamiliar, others unexpected, they enrich and alter
the picture of his life.
