Arthur Conan Doyle
2017
Arthur Conan Doyle was a prolific writer proficient in a number of genres. He authored historical works - Micah Clarke, The White Company, and The Great Shadow to name a few - and more than 100 short stories unrelated to Sherlock Holmes. He also wrote an operetta, the Professor Challenger and Captain Sharkey stories, three volumes of poetry, fifteen nonfiction books, and numerous newspaper articles calling attention to the plight of the less fortunate. And when this immensely talented man wasn't writing, he played cricket, rugby, or golf, sharpened his already impressive photographic skills, or crusaded for social justice. Here, in this essay by award-winning journalist Robert Wernick, is his extraordinary story.

Oscar Wilde in America : The Interviews
2010
Better known in 1882 as a cultural icon than a serious writer, Oscar Wilde was brought to North America for a major lecture tour on Aestheticism and the decorative arts. With characteristic aplomb, he adopted the role as the ambassador of Aestheticism, and he tried out a number of phrases, ideas, and strategies that ultimately made him famous as a novelist and playwright. This exceptional volume cites all ninety-one of Wilde's interviews and contains transcripts of forty-eight of them, and it also includes his lecture on his travels in America.
