Description: 

This week on From the Vault we feature the conclusion of a two-hour documentary dramatizing the life of Irish author, playwright and poet Oscar Wilde, written, produced and broadcast in 1963 on KPFK by Ruth Seymour (then Ruth Hirschman). A Picture of Oscar Wilde was broadcast as a month-long tribute to Oscar Wilde that included airings of "The Picture of Dorian Gray", "The Importance of Being Earnest", "The Ballad from Reading Gaol", and "De Profundis".

These source materials were used to create the original audio documentary:

Famous Trials Oscar Wilde, H. Montgomery Hyde, 1962
Oscar Wilde and Myself, Lord Alfred Douglas, 1914

My Father Oscar Wilde, Vyvyan Holland, 1954
Oscar Wilde: A Present Time Appraisal, St. John Ervine, 1951
