This is such a strange little play I'm not sure that I can make heads or trails of it, but here goes none the less. The premise for the play is straightforward enough, with the action centred around a marital affair and a rather motely group of players, but it seems like Wilde is trying to explore the characters in a more complex manner than expected. Of course, the play is unfinished, so we aren't able to see the final result that he was aiming for, but I was quite intrigued by the finale and definitely wished that he had the time to complete the story. How did the affair start, why is the merchant husband so desperate for cash, and why in the end are the two male players reverse in stature? So many questions, and not nearly enough space for them to be fully developed, but clearly Wilde had the start of something interesting here. ( ) Oscar Wildes A Florentine Tragedy är något av en atavism: drama skrivet på blankvers, under 1800-talet, vafalls? Om ett sidenhandlarpar i Florens som får besök av hertigens enfödde son? Nåväl, det svartsjukedrama som sedan utspelar sig är något Strindberg kunnat nicka erkännande åt; den gode handlaren Simone försöker lura ut om hans hustru Bianca verkligen varit otrogen med Guido Bardi på diverse sätt, för att när han nått säkerhet agera direkt. Kort och enkelt uppbyggt är det; inga bihandlingar finns här som kan irritera, bara ett rum fyllt med misstänksamhet, svartsjuka, skuldkänslor och avsky. Blankversen löper på, inte i Shakespeareska vändningar förutom för att särskilt markera vissa passager, men ändå vältaligt; speciellt nyttjas Shakespeares teknik att genom upprepningar få ett visst ord att verka suspekt, närmast ironiskt. Att säga något mer låter sig nästan inte göras utan att avslöja slutet; pjäsen tillhör trots allt de mindre kända ur Wildes produktion, men även om den kanske inte har den urbant cyniska kulör man vant sig vid så är den ändå fullt njutbar, som en märklig kombination av två helt skildra traditioner.

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born on the 16th October 1854 in Dublin Ireland. The son of Dublin intellectuals Oscar proved himself an outstanding classicist at Dublin, then at Oxford. With his education complete Wilde moved to London and its fashionable cultural and social circles. With his biting wit, flamboyant dress, and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the most well-known personalities of his day. His only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray was published in 1890 and he then moved on to writing for the stage with Salome in 1891. His society comedies produced enormous hits and turned him into one of the most successful writers of late Victorian London. Whilst his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, was on stage in London, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry, the father of his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, prosecuted for libel. The trial unearthed evidence that caused Wilde to drop his charges and led to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency. He was convicted and imprisoned for two years' hard labour. It was to break him. On release he left for France, There he wrote his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol in 1898. He died destitute in Paris at the age of forty-six sipping champagne a friend had brought with the line 'Alas I am dying beyond my means'. Here we publish the classic short story Lord Arthur Savile's Crime that even if read once deserves another read to fully appreciate his mastery of the written word.
