Content: Interesting early portrait of Wilde and Speranza, his mother, in a somewhat florid style. Brémont first meets Oscar when she is living in New York, and is later introduced to his mother when she moves to London. Background / Biography: The only information about Anna de Brémont online is a short article on Italian Wikipedia, which describes her as a poet and writer, gives her dates as 1864-1922 and says that she was from South Africa, a detailed confirmed in Oscar Wilde and His Mother.

"'A great artist invents a type,' wrote Oscar Wilde in his masterly essay on 'The Decay of Lying'. He proved his theory by inventing a type of which he was a startling representative; a protean type of such power in the realm of literature, that few have equalled him in these days when literature become a trade, instead of the glorious profession it once was. Of Oscar Wilde's pose and personality much has been written. But, among those whose favoured mission it is to pain immortal pen-portraits from the fascinating palette of written words, none have solved the enigma of this mysterious and perplexing genius of letters. While giving a curious and censorious world alluring pictures of him that at once attract and repel, they have fallen far short of the real solution of a fame built on paradox." opening paragraphs Secondhand booksellers |
