Oscar Wilde was a major influence on the culture of his time, and
remains relevant today, as a model of wit and style, a sexual icon,
and a moral example. In a sequence of detailed and imaginative
chapters on Wilde and his times, John Stokes shows how in the 1880s
and 1890s Wilde played a vital part in the development of modern
culture, inspiring others to carry his ideas on into the twentieth
century. Stokes offers studies of Wilde's place in the Romantic
tradition, and of his relationships with such legendary figures of
the fin de siecle as Aubrey Beardsley, Alfred Jarry and Arthur
Symons. And always, as part of the process of historical enquiry,
Stokes considers those who came after: humanitarian disciples who
kept Wilde's memory sacred, performers in his plays, actors who
impersonated the man himself. Oscar Wilde: Myths, Miracles and
Imitations explains why Wilde, a 'material ghost', haunts us still.
