Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. First Edition. Royal octavo, [25cm/10inches], full gilt-embossed navy-blue cloth, w/ mylar-covered dust jacket, pp. xii, 286, indexed. Illustrated with b-w halftones, &ct. Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . Kirkus Reviews noted: "This introduction to fin de siecle London might just as easily have been titled Jack the Ripper's London--the connection between Wilde and much of the material is tenuous. Still, although somewhat turgidly written, the authors' breezy history is imaginatively illustrated with 235 black-and-white reproductions and, if for its pictorial content alone, it intrigues. Among the topics covered are the "Arts and Crafts Movement" of William Morris and the Pre-Raphaelites; "Dandyism," as exemplified by Wilde himself; the theater as represented by such actors as Irving, Terry, and Mrs. Campbell, and such playwrights as Shaw, Pinero, and Ibsen; domestic arrangements among the wealthy and the poor; prostitution, both male and female; and crime. Occasionally, incidental details are dealt with in a particularly revelatory way. There is, for example, a fine discussion of the effects of the introduction of electric lighting on women's fashions and acting styles, as well as a charming description of a Marleybone "penny gaff," or poor man's theater, taken from the London Sunday Times. All in all, then, worthwhile for readers seeking a brief overview as well as for those interested in the photographs, "penny-dreadful" woodcuts, handbills, and theater programs of the final two decades of the Victorian Age.".

NOTE: book contains some explicit photographs inappropriate for children. "I'll be a poet, a writer, a dramatist. Somehow or other I'll be famous, and if not famous, I'll be notorious," predicted Oscar Wilde. He may not have known what he would do when he left Oxford University in 1887, but he was sure that, whatever it was, he would do it in style and in the city of London. Now, authors Von Eckardt, 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 city of Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India~the capital of the empire that bravely 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 humor, teenage prostitutes and ladies who profess to be offended by the sight of bare piano limbs. This is a city of etiquette books and feminism, intellectual coteries and bawdy public houses. It is the London of decadence and idealistic reform, of the Aesthetic movement which pitted Beauty against the machine, of great theaters such as Gilbert and Sullivan's Savoy, and of such wonderful writers as the Brownings, Tennyson, Barrie, Shaw, and Huxley. With its narrative infused with quotes from luminaries of the day, and accompanied by a gallery of rare photographs, paintings, sketches, cartoons, and posters, OSCAR WILDE'S LONDON reveals an epoch as eccentric, notorious, and brilliant as Wilde himself. It is an authoritative and captivating testament to a time and artist that dared to demand something new, and forever changed the face of a city, and of the world.
