Oscar Wilde: The Double Image - The Double Image (Paperback)

Woodcock's biography is one of the first to enter deeply into the intellectual content of Wilde's works and life. He probes the dualistic nature of Wilde's mind and provides a critical, in-depth discussion of the paradox that was Oscar Wilde. "Successfully reconciles two disparate views of Wilde: that of upper class dandy and that of social critic."--"The Gateway"
