However a lot of thought would need to go into the character. <br /><br />Of course having not read enough of Wilde's works themselves.

I'm no expert on Oscar Wilde but I'm willing to bet that you are correct that the book would have been as good with an unknown name for the protagonist. But then, maybe using the name will grab the attention of someone looking to buy an interesting read - after all - the cover alone gives much insight into the kind of character found inside.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900762748835789870noreply@blogger.com
