| Summary | "Oscar Wilde, His Life and Confessions. Volume 1 (of 2)" by Frank Harris is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative delves into the life and experiences of the celebrated playwright and poet Oscar Wilde, exploring the complexities of his character and the events that led to his eventual downfall. The opening of the book sets the stage by recounting a scandalous trial involving Wilde's father, Sir William Wilde. The dramatic courtroom proceedings not only captivate Dublin society but also provide insight into the family dynamics and social environment in which Oscar was raised. As the narrative progresses, it highlights Oscar’s early years, from his childhood in Dublin and schooling experiences to his literary aspirations at Trinity College and Oxford. Through vivid anecdotes and reflective passages, Harris paints a portrait of Wilde as an exceptional thinker and artist, foreshadowing the brilliance and tragedies that would later define his public legacy.
