Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. Nice copy in dustwrapper. Reprint of the revised edition of 1954 (biography first published by Methuen, 1946, as Oscar Wilde: his life and wit), with a new introduction; this copy from the library of the author's literary executor, Sir Michael Holroyd. "The story of Wilde's later years is profoundly sad and even squalid," writes Quennell; "yet, as we read Hesketh Pearson's last pages, the sadness is by no means unrelieved. Wilde had an irrepressible gusto. He might be defeated; but he could not be silenced. In every flash of wit he uttered, he remains incorrigibly himself; and throughout this book the melodious voice that had enlivened a whole generation, and daunted the social tyrants of his age, continues to ring clear and true.".
