I did it to the full, as one should do anything one does. I lived on honeycomb.\"\u003c\/i\u003e Oscar Wilde\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it is over 120 years since his infamous trial for indecency, Oscar Wilde has never held greater fascination for us. This packed illustrated biography tells the life of Oscar Wilde through his own words – private letters, poems, plays, stories and legendary witticisms. It includes his relationships with key artists and writers of the time, including John Ruskin, Charles Ricketts, and Lillie Langtry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is illustrated throughout with paintings, engravings, contemporary photographs, cartoons and caricatures of Wilde and his social circle. With illustrations and paintings by Aubrey Beardsley, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, James Whistler and Max Beerbohm, it is a beautiful evocation of the glittering \u003ci\u003efin de siecle\u003c\/i\u003e word by its most fascinating wordsmith and aesthete. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book details Wilde's ruin after the trial and its outcome. The profundity of his writing from prison and exile form an epitaph, not only to his own life, but also for the era that carelessly delighted in it.Juliet Gardiner is a British historian and a commentator on British social history from Victorian times through to the 1950s.
