What Surprised You While Writing Making Oscar Wilde? | Michèle Mendelssohn

During the research for her Oscar Wilde biography Making Oscar Wilde, author Michèle Mendelssohn discovered that Wilde was subject to anti-Irish sentiments during his lecture tour of the US in the late 19th century. He was initially portrayed as a paddy and later on a blackface minstrel in trade cards, adverts and posters of the day. Eventually these images leapt onto the stage and turned into very popular minstrel shows mercilessly mocking Wilde and his failed lecture tour. https://global.oup.com/academic/produ...
