The trial and two-year imprisonment of Oscar Wilde, lover of Queensberrys son, Lord Alfred Douglas, remains one of literary historys great tragedies. However, Linda Stratmann's riveting biography of the Marquess paints a far more complex picture by drawing on new sources and unpublished letters. Throughout his life, Queensberry was emotionally damaged by a series of tragedies, and the events of the Wilde affair-told for the first time from the Marquesss perspective-were directly linked to Queensberrys personal crises. Through the retelling of pivotal events from Queensberrys life-the death of his brother on the Matterhorn and his fruitless search for the body; the suicides of his father, brother, and eldest son-the book reveals a well-meaning man often stricken with a grief he found hard to express, who deserves our compassion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51916521505056,"sku":"NEW0300173806","price":81.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-marquess-of-queensberry-wildes-nemesis-0300173806","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
