Oscar Wilde's Elegant Republic
Why was Paris so popular as a place of both innovation and exile in the late nineteenth century? Using French, English and American sources, this first volume of a trilogy provides a possible answer with a detailed exploration of both the city and its communities, who, forming a varied cast of colourful characters from duchesses to telephonists, artists to beggars, and dancers to diplomats, crowd the stage. Through the throng moves Oscar Wilde as the connecting thread: Wilde exploratory, Wilde triumphant, Wilde ruined. This use of Wilde as a central figure provides both a cultural history of Paris and a view of how he assimilated himself there. By interweaving fictional representations of Paris and Parisians with historical narrative, Paris of the imagination is blended with the topography of the city described by Victor Hugo as ‘this great phantom composed of darkness and light’. This original treatment of the belle époque is couched in language accessible to all who wish to explore Paris on foot or from an armchair.
The Great Performers
"Very occasionally, a performer will emerge with a genuine touch of genius -- an extra dimension which brings them huge critical acclaim and the adulation of audiences worldwide. In The Great Performers, Mark Hichens ... shines the spotlight on eleven iconic performers in the fields of music, acting and dance. Each was endowed with such an immense talent, they had the ability to overcome any obstacle in their way to hone their skill and strive for perfection, enriching the lives of millions. Each one achieved fame and fortune, but life was not always easy. As well as great praise, they came in for biting criticism; their personal troubles were magnified and brought to the notice of the entire world."--Publisher's description.
