Truly Wilde - The Unsettling Story Of Dolly Wilde, Oscar's Niece (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days
|
Born a scant three months after her uncle Oscar's notorious arrest,
raised in the shadow of the greatest scandal of the turn of the
twentieth century, Dolly Wilde attracted people of taste and talent
wherever she went. Brilliantly witty, charged with charm, a "born
writer," she drenched her prodigious talents in liquids, burnt up
her opportunities in flamboyant affairs, and died as she
lived--repeating her uncle's history of excess, collapse, and ruin.
In this biography, Joan Schenkar has created both a captivating
portrait of Dolly and a cultural history of Natalie Clifford
Barney's remarkable Parisian salon--frequented by Janet Flanner,
Mina Loy, Djuna Barnes--in which she shone so brightly.
