H." by Oscar Wilde is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a discussion between two characters, Erskine and the narrator, about the identity of a young man referenced in Shakespeare's sonnets, leading to an exploration of art, authenticity, and literary interpretation. The narrative blends themes of admiration for artistic beauty with a mystery surrounding the character of Willie Hughes, purportedly a significant figure in Shakespeare's life and work. The opening of the text sets the stage for this literary inquiry, commencing with a dinner conversation in Erskine's library. The characters delve into the topic of literary forgery, which transitions into a deeper discussion about Cyril Graham, a friend of Erskine's who formulated a theory about the true identity of the enigmatic "Mr. W. H." from the sonnets. As Erskine reveals a portrait he claims is that of W. H., intrigue grows, leading to the introduction of Graham's passionate belief that this young man inspired Shakespeare's greatest works. The opening portion establishes both a personal and intellectual stake in the theme, framing the mysterious figure of Willie Hughes against the backdrop of Shakespeare's poetic legacy.
