Industry Reviews "He is not one of those writers who as the centuries change lose their relevance. Wilde is one of us. His wit is an agent of renewal as pertinent now as a hundred years ago." Richard Ellmann
"It is poisonous if you like; but you cannot deny that it is also perfect, and perfection is what we artists aim at." Biography - Oscar Wilde
"...[a] tale spawned from the leprous literature of the French decadents--a poisonous book, the atmosphere of which is heavy with the mephitic odours of moral and spiritual putrefaction." Hardyment
