Impression of America

In 1883 after Wilde returned from his year long lecture tour in America he penned notes for a talk entitled Impressions of America (aka Personal Impressions of America) which he gave in various cities in the following few years. In March 1906 Stuart Mason, Wilde's future bibliographer, published a booklet of the text. In addition to the essay, the published edition of Impressions of America, 1906, contains two of Wilde's early poems, Le Jardin and La Mer, together with a Preface by Mason, and an afterword about Wilde in interview, taken from the Lady's Pictorial.
