Summary:

"The Dead Past" is the extraodinary last memior of the oriental scholar, author and eccentric Sir Edward Trelawny Backhouse. Like an opium dream, it blends truth and fantasy to bring alive a youth spent in the company of the leading personalities of the fin de si︡ècle, including Oscar Wilde, Lord Alfred Douglas, Walter Pater, Paul Verlaine, and the courtesan La Belle Otèro, some of whom are described as lovers. Over 70 years since it was written, this edition brings it into print for the first time."-- publishers blurb
