But this image is not how Wilde saw himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph Pearce's biography strips away pretensions to show the real man, his aspirations and desires. It uncovers how he was broken by his prison sentence; it probes the deeper thinking behind masterpieces such as \u003ci\u003eThe Picture of Dorian Gray \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eDe Profundis\u003c\/i\u003e; and it traces his fascination with Catholicism through to his eleventh-hour conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePearce removes the masks and reveals the Wilde beneath the surface. He has written a profound, wide-ranging study with many original insights on a great literary figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Pearce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621640590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621640592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ignatius Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Joseph Pearce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995805647103,"sku":"9781621640592","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdb14142-e008-47c4-8b07-47f58e7c34e7.jpg?v=1683337960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-unmasking-of-oscar-wilde-joseph-pearce-9781621640592","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
