Oscar Wilde and his Mother

Painstaking effort was taken to create an eBook specifically formatted for the nook. There is a linked TOC for ease of navigation. Some minor corrections were made to the text, but it was largely left as is. In addition to the original text, I have included Lady Jane Wilde’s Jacta Alea Est – a call-to-arms for Irish independence originally printed in The Nation on 29 July, 1848 - and an original essay by K.J. Pierce entitled “Wilde Cubed: Splitting Souls in The Picture of Dorian Gray”.
********************
Anna Dunphy, Comtesse de Brémont, reflects on her friendship with Lady Jane Wilde, her son, famed writer Oscar Wilde, and offers personal insight as to the relationship between Oscar and his mother and how it affected Oscar’s adult life. She also shares her own perspective on the well-known events of Oscar Wilde’s life.
