THE GREEN CARNATION
First published anonymously in 1894, this brilliant, biting novel by Robert Hichens (whose leading characters were based on Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas, whom he personally knew), was an instant 'succès de scandale' on both sides of the Atlantic. The reviewer for The Observer wrote "THE GREEN CARNATION will be read and discussed by everyone... nothing so impudent, so bold, or so delicious has been printed these many years." The book was withdrawn from circulation in 1895, but by that time the damage had been done. Robert Hichens later wrote two novels that were made into films ("The Garden of Allah", and "The Paradine Case"), and his story "How Love Came to Professor Guildea", has been frequently anthologized. We are proud to once again make THE GREEN CARNATION available to the public in this special hard bound collector's edition - it makes the perfect addition to any collection or library. The Foreword is written by playwright Anthony Wynn.
