His very identity was an elaborate work of artifice. His conviction and imprisonment for \u201cgross indecency\u201d in 1895 exploded the well-known public persona, or so it seemed.  But although it took a heavy toll, prison did not prevent Wilde from treating life as if it were the raw material of art. Both in jail and afterwards, he recreated himself many times; and upon his release he lived with intensity and passion, as though determined to prove to posterity that \u2013 to paraphrase his own words -- if he had put merely his talent into his works, he had put all his genius into his life. In Wilde\u2019s boundless capacity for self-invention and reinvention, we witness life itself transformed into a work of art.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Nicholas Frankel<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/10_Frankel-Nicholas-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/10_Frankel-Nicholas-150x150.png 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/10_Frankel-Nicholas-50x50.png 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/10_Frankel-Nicholas-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>Nicholas Frankel, Professor of English at Virginia Commonwealth University, is the author or editor of many books about Oscar Wilde, including most recently <cite>Oscar Wilde: The Unrepentant Years (Harvard University Press, 2017)<\/cite> and <cite>The Annotated Prison Writings of Oscar Wilde (Harvard University Press, 2018),<\/cite> described by the Irish Times as \u201ca welcome gathering of Wilde\u2019s most humane work.\u201d  Professor Frankel\u2019s <cite>The Picture of Dorian Gray: An Annotated Uncensored Edition (Harvard University Press, 2011)<\/cite> was named an Honor Book in two categories at the 2012 Stonewall Books Awards by the American Library Association.
