‘One should either wear a work of art, or be a work of art,Wilde once declared. In "The Invention of Oscar Wilde," Nicholas Frankel explores Wilde's self-creation as a "work of art" and a carefully constructed cultural icon. Frankel takes readers on a journey through Wilde's inventive, provocative life, from his Irish origins and their public erasure through his challenges to traditional concepts of masculinity and male sexuality to his criminal conviction and final years of exile in France. Along the way, Frankel takes a deep look at Wilde's writings, paradoxical wit, and intellectual convictions, as well as his marriage and affairs with a series of attractive young men, including his great love, Lord Alfred Douglas. A compelling account of Wilde's life and influence on both Victorian Britain and twentieth-century culture.
