""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.
