""Recollections of Oscar Wilde"" is a memoir written by Ernest La Jeunesse, a French journalist and writer who was a close friend of Oscar Wilde. The book was first published in 1906, two years after Wilde's death, and provides a unique insight into the life and personality of one of the most celebrated writers of the late 19th century.La Jeunesse's recollections cover a wide range of topics, from Wilde's early years and his rise to fame as a playwright and author, to his scandalous trial and imprisonment for homosexuality. The book also offers a glimpse into Wilde's personal life, including his relationships with his wife Constance and his lover Lord Alfred Douglas.Throughout the memoir, La Jeunesse presents Wilde as a complex and multifaceted figure, whose wit and charm were matched by his vulnerability and emotional depth. He also provides a vivid portrait of the literary and artistic circles in which Wilde moved, including figures such as George Bernard Shaw, Aubrey Beardsley, and Max Beerbohm.Despite being written more than a century ago, ""Recollections of Oscar Wilde"" remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in Wilde's life and work, as well as the cultural and social milieu of the late Victorian era.Translated By Percival Pollard.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
