OSCAR WILDE'S LONDON

Rating:
Summary: Oscar Wilde's Wild, Wild London
Review: After reading Profundis, I was struck by Oscar, his life, times, regrets and the depth of his self-inflicted pain. This book provides the reader with a perspective on the London of Oscars' time which must be thoroughly understood to glean meaning to his life. Daily life is explored on various social levels as are those contemporary laws and social mores of which Oscar spoke and often debated. This book is a must for those who wish to OBJECTIVELY get beyond Oscar's sexuality and popularized personnae. A fantastic overview of the London which harbored the young Wilde -- rejected the sexual Wilde -- and ultimately embraced the visionary Wilde.
