Somehow or other I?ll be famous, and if not famous, I?ll be notorious, predicted Oscar Wilde. He may not have know what he would do when he left Oxford in 1887, but he was sure that, whatever it was, he would do it in style and in London. Now, authors von Eckart, Gilman and Chamberlin offer a vivid portrait of the city that Oscar Wilde made and that made Oscar Wilde.Through evocative words and pictures, we discover the town of Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India - the capital of the Empire that bore the white man?s burden but could not bear its own industrial grime and drudgery. here is London in all its fascinating contradictions: the gas-lit luxury and back-street intrigue, drawing room wit and poorhouse humour, teenage prositutes and ladies who profess to be offended by the sight of bare piano limbs.
