Book
Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. 90 pp. En 1894, el dramaturgo irlandés le sugirió al editor Arthur L. Humphreys que le pidiera a su esposa Constance una selección de pensamientos de su obra bajo el título Oscariana. Posiblemente lo hizo para dar alguna satisfacción a la desdichada esposa, madre de sus dos hijos, de presencia arrebatadora, rostro enigmático y severo. La relación amorosa entre Constance y Oscar comienza intempestivamente y acaba de forma tormentosa, convirtiéndose el elegante y distinguido matrimonio de moda, entonces objeto de admiración y de envidia de muchos, en una víctima más de la doble moral victoriana. Por entonces, el famoso escritor comenzó sus relaciones con Lord Alfred Douglas. En enero de 1895 se publicó la primera edición. Pero, antes de que saliese a la luz, estalló el escándalo originado por el arresto y los juicios de Wilde, quedando eclipsado el éxito de la obra. Finalmente, el libro vio la luz en 1910, incluyendo las dos colecciones de aforismos publicadas en vida del poeta.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Privately Printed, Arthur Humphries,1895. One of fifty copies. 8vo, 7.5 x 5.75 ins, 88pp, handmade paper, all edges uncut. Soft covers. No inscriptions. See facsimile illustrations from Mason s Bibliography of Oscar Wilde, see plates 3 & 4. In the summer of 1894, Constance Wilde was discussing with Arthur Humphreys, the manager of Hatchards, the possibility of publishing a small book of Oscar's aphorisms which she would select. A contract was signed on 14 August by Humphreys and Wilde, with Lord Alfred Douglas as witness (Ellmann, p.401). However, in November, Wilde wrote to Humphreys that "The book is, as it stands, so bad, so disappointing, that I am writing a set of new aphorisms, and will have to alter much of the printed matter" (Letters, ed. Hart-Davis, p.378). He may have resented the increasingly close relationship between Humphreys and Constance an intimacy that only came to light when her letters to him were sold at auction in 1985 by one of his descendants. The changing nature of Constance's involvement in Oscariana led to the removal of her name from the title page. A very scarce fragile item, which requires careful handing. Chipped dry and brittle covers, pages are fine. Mason 628.
