Updated Acting Oscar. 1895……not all film versions as quite rightly pointed out by ⁦@GylesB1⁩ Tom Baker performed twice as Oscar on stage. I wish there was a film of it! Here’s a recording of Micheál Mac Liammóir in the Trials. https://t.co/Coqftdu8dY ⁦@OscarWildeUK⁩

French novelist Alexandre Dumas’s prodigious output was greatly assisted by his corps of ghost writers. Meeting his son and namesake, Dumas inquired, “Have you read my new novel yet?” Alexandre son replied, “No. Have you?”

This edition has articles on Lord Alfred Douglas 150 years after his birth, seances in the 1920s, a re-discovered photo of Oscar, some good book recommendations and info from the society AGM, including the announcement of our newest Honorary Patron Neil Titley. It’s a good one.

One of the books I most enjoyed re-reading this year was Villette, how sad that it was Charlotte Bronte's final completed novel. What other masterpieces would she have created?
