The man of the hour: Oscar Wilde

So here is a preview of what I will be up to this weekend!

My Oscar Wilde seminar is traveling to Oxford and London to live the life of the great nineteenth-century writer!


Oscar Wilde, the man of the hour


First stop: Oxford to see where he hung out and went to university!


Bodlein Library: The sexiest library on earth, and also where they found the Bodlein plate to restore the Wren Building at William and Mary.


We're going punting in Oxford - from what I've gathered, it's sort of like a gondala except not? I wonder if we get to sport that boating jackets and hats?


Last stop: London! To see Oscar's favorite haunts. We even got special permission to stop in some of the swanky hotels to see where he stayed while in the city.


We're doing so much more than this during the 48 hours that we're gone. I'll be sure to keep you posted!
