We hope you will join us on February 4 at 12pm EST to hear leading Oscar Wilde scholar Renato Miracco speak about his new book, Oscar Wilde’s Italian Dream 1875–1900 (published by Damiani), in which he combines his research with previously unseen visual material ranging from Wilde’s earliest heady trips to Italy as an Oxford student to recently released court documents from his trial and his final days in France and Italy in 1900, after his incarceration in Reading Gaol, and his voluntary exile from Britain.
Miraco will be joined in conversation by Ulrich Baer, Professor of German and Comparative Literature, NYU; Stefano Evangelista, Associate Professor of English, Oxford University; and Lucy Riall, Professor of History and Civilization at the European University Institute. The event will be moderated by Perri Klass and Larry Wolff, Co-Directors of NYU Florence.
We are so pleased to be able to co-sponsor this event, part of the NYU Washington DC Salon Series, along with NYU Florence, and the NYU Center for European and Mediterranean Studies.
