Description

There's been a long-standing argument in literary circles, surrounding Shakespeare's sonnets. The works are dedicated to 'Mr W.H.' and academics have debated as to who this elusive figure might be. Some have even gone as far as to suggest that the initials stand for 'Willian Himself.' 'The Portrait of Mr W.H.' sees Wilde give these sonnets a witty and wry autopsy, poring through them to find the identity of this shadowy dedicatee. However, this is a speculative fiction rather than an academic exercise, and Wilde creates a superb story in which a young actor might give a clue as to who Mr W.H. actually was. Ideal for fans of Shakespeare and Wilde, alike.
