Issued as a standalone text, it addresses the intense controversy surrounding Harris's infamous 1916 biography of Oscar Wilde. Following the disintegration of their temporary reconciliation in the South of France, Douglas insisted on this separate publication to aggressively correct the record and distance himself from the more scandalous implications of Wilde's lifestyle depicted by Harris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eContemporary ownership signature serves as a factual marker of its early post-publication circulation.

Originally intended to bridge the ideological gap between the two men regarding Wilde's legacy, their uneasy collaboration instead imploded, resulting in this fiercely contested manifesto. Essential reading for Wilde scholars and enthusiasts of Edwardian literary drama, the volume offers a blistering, unfiltered glimpse into the recriminations, bruised egos, and enduring controversies left in the wake of Wilde's tragic demise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53978529169747,"sku":"4201-RM-F-VG-17","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260605_161730.jpg?v=1781182280"}],"url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/collections\/autobiography-biography-memoirs-1.oembed?page=2","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
