Description
A lively debut biography of the flamboyant Irish writer ... focusing on the women who loved and supported him ( Kirkus Reviews ). In this essential work, Eleanor Fitzsimons reframes Oscar Wilde s story and his legacy through the women in his life, including such scintillating figures as Florence Balcombe; actress Lillie Langtry; and his tragic and witty niece, Dolly, who, like Wilde, loved fast cars, cocaine, and foreign women. Fresh, revealing, and entertaining, full of fascinating detail and anecdotes, Wilde s Women relates the untold story of how a beloved writer and libertine played a vitally sympathetic role on behalf of many women, and how they supported him in the midst of a Victorian society in the process of changing forever. Fitzsimons reminds us of the many writers, actresses, political activists, professional beauties and aristocratic ladies who helped shape the life and legend of the era s greatest wit, esthete and sexual martyr ... provide[s] a potted biography of the multitalented writer and gay icon ... highly enjoyable. The Washington Post Fitzsimons brilliantly calls attention to the progressive ideas and beliefs which drew the most daring and interesting women of the time to his side. The depth and painstaking care of Fitzsimons research is a fitting tribute to Wilde s fascinating life and exquisite writing and really, what better compliment is there than that? High Voltage.
