Prólogo de Luis Antonio de Villena sobre el primer wilderanismo en España / Se cuenta que en la aduana norteamericana y ante la pregunta del oficial de turno de si tenía algo que declarar, Wilde contesto sin inmutarse: Aparte de mi genio, nada. Es dificil imaginar que detras de esta jovialidad y bonhomia, detras del desenfado y el fino humor de los que Wilde hizo gala incluso en los momentos mas duros de su existencia, se esconda en el fondo una gran tragedia humana. Tragedia de la que, por cierto -y aunque el temperamento de Wilde contribuyera en no poco a ello-, fue la principal responsable una sociedad pacata e hipocrita como la britanica de su tiempo. No poco del valor e interes de esta Vida y confesiones de Oscar Wilde podria achacarse -a diferencia de otras biografias sobre el autor de La importancia de llamarse Ernesto- al conocimiento de primera mano por parte del autor, Frank Harris, de su biografiado, con quien compartio una larga amistad incluso en los momentos mas dificiles de su juicio y encarcelamiento. Pero, por encima del compromiso personal y a la misma distancia de la denostacion interesada o del ciego encomio del biografiado, al merito fundamental de Harris sigue siendo dar todavia hoy, a traves de observaciones psicologicas sorprendentes por su finura, valiosas claves de interpretacion de un personaje complejo, con sombras y aristas que Harris no intenta ocultar al lector, pero al mismo tiempo conmovedor en su eterna persecucion de la belleza. Con esta recreacion de la figura de Wilde inaugura, pues, Biblioteca Nueva su Biblioteca Oscar Wilde, puesta al cuidado de Luis Antonio de Villena.
