SUMMARY:Confounding the Critics\, Surviving the Scandal: The Remarkable Rep
 utation of Oscar Wilde
DESCRIPTION:William Andrews Clark Lecture on Oscar Wilde\n–given by Merli
 n Holland\nThis lecture was livestreamed on the Center’s YouTube Channel
  and made available to watch for a limited time after the event. \n\n\n\n
 Merlin Holland\, the only grandson of Oscar Wilde\, writes\, lectures and 
 broadcasts regularly on the subject of his grandfather's life. His publica
 tions include Irish Peacock and Scarlet Marquess\, the first complete reco
 rd of the libel trial which ultimately brought Oscar Wilde to ruin and soc
 ial disgrace\, and The Wilde Album\, a pictorial biography of Oscar Wilde.
  He is also the co-editor of The Complete Letters of Oscar Wilde and autho
 r of Conversations with Oscar Wilde\, a series of imaginary conversations 
 between him and his grandfather. At present he is working on an account of
  Oscar’s ‘posthumous life’ which will show that his grandfather has 
 caused even more trouble after his death than when he was alive. After Osc
 ar's conviction in 1895\, his wife\, Constance\, and their two sons were f
 orced to move abroad and change their name to Holland. The family has neve
 r reverted to the name Wilde.\n\nThe inaugural presentation of the Willia
 m Andrews Clark Lecture on Oscar Wilde was delivered by Merlin Holland in
  fall of 2007. This biennial series\, made possible by a generous endowmen
 t founded by Dr. William Zachs\, focuses on Wilde\, his literary circle an
 d the decadent movement of the 1890s. It highlights the Clark’s collecti
 on of Wilde material—the most comprehensive in the world—which include
 s autograph letters and drafts by Wilde and his circle\; a nearly complete
  collection of printed editions of his works\; photographs\, original port
 raits\, and caricatures\; playbills and news cuttings.\n\nCommemorative bo
