Inhaltsangabe

In the spring of 1895 the life of Constance Wilde changed irrevocably.Up until the conviction of her husband Oscar for homosexual crimes, she had held a privileged place in society. Part of a gilded couple, she was a popular children s author, a fashion icon, and a leading campaigner for women s rights. Mrs. Oscar Wilde was a phenomenon in her own right. But that spring Constance s entire life was eclipsed by scandal.Forced to flee to the Continent with her two sons, her glittering literary and political career ended abruptly. Changing her name, she lived in exile until her death. Franny Moyle now tells Constance s story with a fresh eye and remarkable new material. Drawing on numerous unpublished letters, she brings to life the most poignant narrative of fin-de-siecle London and the Aesthetic Movement.
