The last of the series in which Richard Holmes follows in the footsteps of some great literary fugitives.
Dieppe in northern France was the first place Wilde sought refuge on his release in 1895 from Reading gaol after his imprisonment for "homosexual practices". He was running away to rebuild his life and might even see his wife and beloved children again - if only he could avoid Lord Alfred Douglas.
Holmes charts Wilde's well-documented and poignant rehabilitation in France - his swimming in the sea, his indulgence in perfumes and luxury goods after the privations of his incarceration, his being snubbed by fellow artists and loved by others, and the troupe of Norman village children whom he taught to sing the British national anthem.
