    • 2002 February 22, Nicholas de Jongh, “Escapist pleasure as Vanessa and Joely share stage”, in Evening Standard, London, page 7:
      WHEN it comes to poking serious fun at High Society and making a quiet mockery of its hypocritical ways there’s still no one one to match the Victorian age’s master of homosexual immorality, Mr Oscar Wilde. [] Wilde, being a first-class subversive, implies that the Wicked Lady, an unshamed adventureress and serial lover, ought be admired for the courage of her convictions: by contrast he mocks the aristocrats as immoralists desperate to be caught in a good light.
  2. An adherent or practitioner of immoralism
