  * Wilde's real reason for refusing to collaborate with Zola was Zola's refusal to sign a French petition on behalf of Wilde at the time of his conviction. Zola, who lived as a respectable bourgeois, had been disgusted by what the trials revealed about Wilde; Robert Sherard, author of a biography of Zola, described Zola's attitude as that of an "editor of a religious magazine, or the writer of moral textbooks." Wilde could never accept the moralizing of the Dreyfusards.
