Oscar Wilde en Paris/ Oscar Wilde in Paris

Exceptional bridge between anglophone and francophone cultures, the historian Herbert Lottman explores the relationship that brought Oscar Wilde with Paris, which was deployed along the half-life of the author of The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest. Indeed, Oscar Wilde (Dublin, 1854-Paris, 1900) visited the French capital on numerous occasions, the first one in his twenty years before joining Oxford, and in 1884, for their honeymoon after his wedding to Constance Lloyd.
