Wilde memorial at Reading Gaol

[1coolcat@snet.net]

I recently heard that a memorial was erected in Reading, England in honor of the centennial of Oscar Wilde's death. I haven't been able to find out much information about it, I only know that it stands near a river on the grounds of Reading Gaol. If anyone has any further information on this long-overdue tribute to Wilde, please email me or feel free to post. I'm especially interested in a photo. Thanks! http://www.everypoet.com/poetry/poetry_forums/smile.gif

I don't know about the Wilde tribute in Reading, but there's one in London, near Charing Cross Station. It's a sculpture by Maggie Hamblin and it's awful! Oscar deserves better.

Hi, clive. Is that the one in Trafalgar Square? Yes, I know it's quite terrible. Better than nothing, though, I suppose. http://www.everypoet.com/poetry/poetry_forums/wink.gif Thanks so much for commenting!

coolcat....what a phrase to think on this morning.

Better than nothing.
Hmmmm...maybe a topic for the watering hole?

(I might be reading a different book

Hello, Skyy. I started this thread in Voyages, because I'm hoping to discover more about the new Wilde memorial at Reading Gaol. Clive mentioned the one that already stands in London, and does Wilde no justice at all. If I don't get any replies about the Reading memorial, though, I may move it elsewhere. Thanks for the reply.
