Beschreibung:
Antony Edmonds was born in Southsea and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford. A researcher and writer with a particular interest in the history of Worthing, he works as a freelance copy-editor and has published numerous articles about the town and its literary associations, especially with Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde. He lives in a village on the Hampshire / Sussex border.
Examines the summer of 1894, when Oscar Wilde spent 8 weeks in Worthing and wrote his masterpiece "The Importance Of Being Earnest". The holiday was a microcosm of Wilde's turbulent life during the 3 years between his falling in love with Lord Alfred Douglas in 1892 and his imprisonment in 1895.
