Sir Rupert Hart-Davis set up his own publishing company in 1946. He was well regarded as an editor, and was executor to various literary figures of the mid-century. In 1962, he edited and compiled a collection of Oscar Wilde’s letters.
This edition marks the centenary of Oscar Wilde’s death, and is the most complete ever to appear. It contains over 1500 of his letters, and anyone unfamiliar with Wilde as a correspondent will find it packed with unexpected delights. This magnificent collection is a major publishing event.
