How wonderfully entertaining and educational. Wilde in New York is wildly fascinating. Top hats off to the creator and producer, Erik Ryding. The excellent narration, accompanying imagery, and period music create a rich tapestry of Wilde's social and cultural milieu. I wish the History Channel aired this sort of thing, but then again we are lucky to have it right here on KZfaq.

I know Wilde visited Colorado where he was a huge success. So he has to have visited America twice.

I don't know if this really happened, but Wilde's time in New York may have inspired this joke: The playwright's admirers had heard he loved anemone flowers. So they ordered dozens of them to welcome him among them. However, there was a mix up at the florist's and instead they were sent a couple of dozen very handsome potted ferns. Naturally they were very upset, but Oscar Wilde had the wit and grace to assuage their emotions. He is reported to have said, "Gentlemen, ladies, with fronds like these - who needs anemones?"

Wilde was known for his wit and satire, but if you read his letters from Reading Gael he could also be very serious and deep.

What a strange thought, to live up to the china set you just bought. I wonder in what regards that was intended. Were they going to work on having better etiquette at the table, or were they going to serve more elaborate meals? Maybe they were going to attempt be less clumsy because they accidently break a lot of plates, or perhaps when they argue they start smashing and throwing things in anger. Since we own this now, we should behave this way...wow, what a philosophy. Could you imagine applying that to everything?

What is the piano music played at the "outro"?
@QuillClassics2 ай бұрын
The outro following John's walking tour (before the music for the credits) is from the Overture to Gilbert and Sullivan's PATIENCE, performed by Melanie Williams, flute, and Mitchell Vines, piano. The music for the credits is Chopin's Nocturne in D-flat Major, performed by Randall Love.

Fascinating on so many levels. Although a life-long New Yorkers and fan of Oscar Wolfe, I learned so muich about the formative time that Wilde spent in New York City in the 1880s. A must-watch for fans of Wilde and those interested in the social and cultural history of New York in the early years of the Gilded Age. The final portion of the film shows the many sites where you can still walk in Wilde's steps.
