Henry James, Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde.

… and more in this wonderful post by Ms. Baroque, who may very well be my new favorite blogger. I love how she writes. I have heard a bit about the book she mentions (or one of them) – the Henry James, Oscar Wilde and Aesthetic Culture book and have been VERY curious to read it myself. I’m not a James fan, as I believe I have mentioned before – but i found the excerpt she posted from his journal after the famous failure (“failure” is putting it mildly) of his play – very very touching. Wow.
