Book Description
Excerpt from A Florentine Tragedy About in various fragmentary states, and it was perfectly obvious that someone familiar with the author's writing had been there before us. A few days later an execution was put into the house on a judgment obtained by a creditor, and this was followed by one of the most disgraceful auctions that ever occurred in London. Not many personal friends were present, as all the money they could afford was being devoted to his defence. Private letters and mss. Were dispersed, though I believe the sale of such things under the circumstances was illegal; and private collectors who were anxious to buy any of the pictures, works of art, or literary relics (of which Wilde possessed a certain number) were hustled by the dealers. An eye-witness informs me that he saw a great many small objects being pocketed by the crowd. For many years afterwards the second -h and shops were full of objects from the sale.

Book Description
"As to my personal attitude towards criticism, I confess in brief the following: "If my works are good and of any importance whatever for the further development of art, they will maintain their place in spite of all adverse criticism and in spite of all hateful suspicions attached to my artistic intentions. If my works are of no account, the most gratifying success of the moment and the most enthusiastic approval of as augurs cannot make them endure. The waste-paper press can devour them as it has devoured many others, and I will not shed a tear . . . and the world will move on just the same."

Book Description
Excerpt from Tragedy in Four Acts Appare una corte, nelle case dei Polentani, contigua a un giardino che brilla di la da una chiusura di marmi traforati in guisa di transenne. Ricorre per Ialto una loggia che a destra corrisponde con le camere gentilesche e di fronte, aerata su le sue colonnette, mostra avere una duplice veduta. Ne discende, a manca, una scala leggerea. Una grande porta e a destra, e una bassa finestra ferrata; pe' cui vani si scopre una fuga di uracate che circondano un'altra corte piu vasta. Presso la scala e un'arca bisantina, sensa coperchio, riempiuta di terra come un testo, dove fiorisce un rosaio vermiglio. Scena I. Si vedono le donne protendersi dalla loggia e discendere giu per la scala, curiose accennaundo verso il giullare che porta appesa sul fianco, la sua viola e in mano una gonnella vecchia. Gar. O Donella, Donella, c'eil giullare in corte! Biancofiore, c'eil giullare! E venuto! Bian. Facciamolo cantare. Alti. Ohe, sei tu quel Gianni... Il Giul. Dolci mie donne... Alti. Sei tu quel Gianni che dovea venire di Bologna? Gian Figo? Gar. Sei Gordello che vieni di Ferrara? Il Guil. Donne mie belle, avreste voi un poco... Gar. Di che? di lardo? Il Giul. Avreste voi un poco di scarlatto? Don. Sei tu per motteggiare? Stiamo accorte. Bian. Ma tu chi sei? quel Gianni... Alti. O Biancofiore, guardalo in che panni! Il farsetto s'azzuffa co' calzari. Gar. Oh, guardalo, Donella: egli e scampato solo in panni di gamba. Bian. Guarda, Altichiara, quel che ha per mano.
