Autor

Merlin Holland, the only grandson of Oscar Wilde, is an author living in France. For the last forty years he has been researching his grandfather's life and works, and writes, lectures, and broadcasts regularly on the subject in English, French, and German. His publications include Irish Peacock and Scarlet Marquess, the first complete, verbatim record of the libel trial which ultimately brought Wilde to ruin, and The Wilde Album, a pictorial biography of Oscar Wilde. He is also the co-editor of The Complete Letters of Oscar Wilde as well as the editor of an abridged and commentated version of Oscar's letters, Oscar Wilde: a Life in Letters. After Oscar's conviction in 1895, his wife, Constance, and their two sons were forced to move abroad and change their name to Holland. The family has never reverted to the name Wilde.
