âÇÖI have put all my genius into my life, I have put only my talent into my works.âÇÖ-Oscar Wilde.André Gide first met Wilde in Paris when Wilde had fled Britain following his release from Reading gaol. This short book was first published in English in 1905 and was written shortly after Oscar WildeâÇÖs death in 1900.áThrough personal recollections, Gide states that he set out to show Wilde as an object of admiration and then demonstrate how his work was illuminated by his personality.áAndré Gide (1869-1951) was the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948. His works included many books of fiction as well as autobiographies. He was sexually attracted to boys, describing himself as a pederast. In hisáSi le Grain Ne Meurtá(1924), Gide claims that in 1895 Wilde had âÇÖinveigled him [Gide] into debaucheryâÇÖ with a young Arab boy in Algiers: this was not the case as Gide had already âÇÖdiscovered his homosexualityâÇÖ some years earlier.Stuart Mason (theánom de plumeáof Christopher Sclater Millard, 1872-1927) translated the book from the original French magazine article and added an introduction, notes and a bibliography. It was MasonâÇÖs bibliography, listing all of WildeâÇÖs works that helped WildeâÇÖs literary executor, Robbie Ross, establish copyright on his works. Millard, like Wilde, was imprisoned for his homosexuality.The book includes the five images from the original publication, three of which are of Oscar Wilde.
