More Lives than One

The Remarkable Wilde Family Through the Generations

Gerard Hanberry

In The Ballad of Reading Gaol, Oscar Wilde wrote: "For he who lives more lives than one, more deaths than one must die." In keeping with this line, biographer Gerard Hanberry draws a multi-facetted picture of the brilliant Irish writer, whose life encompassed so many stories, in the midst of seven generations of his family: his parents, the accomplished Sir William Wilde and the flamboyant Lady Wilde, his brother Willie, his wife Constance, sons Vyvyan and Cecil, and descendants still alive today. The biography includes new insights on Wilde's time in prison and recently discovered information on Sir William's cover-up of his illegitimate daughters' deaths in Monaghan.
