Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIVThe Marquess of Queensberry is as famous for his role in the downfall of one of our greatest literary geniuses as he was for helping establish the rules for modern-day boxing. The trial and two-year imprisonment of Oscar Wilde, lover of Queensberry’s son, Lord Alfred Douglas, remains one of literary history’s great tragedies. However, Linda Stratmann's riveting biography of the Marquess paints a far more complex picture by drawing on new sources and unpublished letters. Throughout his life, Queensberry was emotionally damaged by a series of tragedies, and the events of the Wilde affair—told for the first time from the Marquess’s perspective—were directly linked to Queensberry’s personal crises. Through the retelling of pivotal events from Queensberry’s life—the death of his brother on the Matterhorn and his fruitless search for the body; the suicides of his father, brother, and eldest son—the book reveals a well-meaning man often stricken with a grief he found hard to express, who deserves our compassion./div

Download or read book Oscar and Bosie written by Trevor Fisher and published by Sutton Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The love story of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas surely ranks among the world's greatest romantic tragedies. After Wilde's tragic bid to sue the Marquis of Queensberry for libel ended in total humiliation, with his imprisonment, exile and early death in Paris at the age of 46, the London literati split into bitterly opposed camps. Some have believed that Bosie deserted a friend in need, others that Wilde was the innocent victim of a long-running family feud between an obsessed father and his pampered son. Fuelled by the surviving correspondence, successive biographies and Bosie's own polemical writing, the arguments have merely intensified over the years. Of Wilde, however, the question will always remain: Why did he bring about his own downfall? This book is that fascinating and complex story.
