Oscar Wilde (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Oscar Wilde
My interest in Oscar Wilde is a very old story; I went to hear him lecture when I was a boy, and, boy like, I wrote and asked him for his autograph, which he sent me and which I still have.
It seems strange that I can look back through thirty years to his visit to Philadelphia, and in imagi nation see him on the platform of old Horticultural Hall. I remember too the discussion which his visit to Philadelphia occasioned, preceded as it was by the publication in Boston, of his volume of Poems, the English edition having been received with greater cordiality than usually marks a young poet's first production - for such it practically was.
