Description: Covici, Friede, Inc., New York (1930). First Edition/First Printing. Book Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Excerpt from back cover: "Frank Harris's famous biography of Oscar Wilde is at last available in a single volume for general circulation. Previously published in an expensive two volume edition, now withdrawn, it is here presented, complete and unexpurgated. It includes the hitherto unpublished full and final confession by Lord Alfred Douglas and the memoir and estimate of Oscar Wilde by Bernard Shaw. The confession provided by Lord Alfred Douglas throws a new light on the relationship that brought the two-year sentence in Reading Gaol to Oscar Wilde and, in its wake, physical and moral disaster and ultimate death to the brightest figure of the 1890's. Given an opportunity to defend himself in this edition, Lord Douglas presents his version of the events that led to the world-famous tragedy. He meets the grave charges in Frank Harris's biography with a full and candid confession of his part in the celebrated affair." The book itself is in near fine condition. Clean bright pages bereft of inscription, firm binding, tight square boards, etc. The dust jacket, unclipped & protected by a mylar sleeve, is in very good condition. Clean & vibrant. A couple small tears. Mild chipping to top & bottom of spine. Yellowing to spine.
