Descripción

The Green Carnation, an audacious novel first published anonymously in 1894, was penned by Robert Hichens and is inspired by the intriguing lives of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas—affectionately known as Bosie. Having spent nearly a year in their company, Hichens masterfully captures the essence of their complex relationship and the vibrant atmosphere of their world. The novel introduces readers to the captivating characters of Esmé Amarinth (Wilde) and Lord Reginald (Reggie) Hastings (Douglas), with dialogue that echoes the real-life exchanges of its inspirations. It quickly became a sensation, stirring controversy across the Atlantic. However, its impact was far-reaching; by the time the book was withdrawn from circulation in 1895, it had already contributed to Wildes downfall, leading him to face three trials for Gross Indecency and a sentence of two years hard labor. The Green Carnation was a pivotal piece of evidence used against him, marking a significant moment in literary and social history.
