Wilde's story is narrated by a friend of a man called Erskine, who is preoccupied by the Hughes theory. Erskine had learned the idea from one Cyril Graham, who had tried to persuade Erskine of it based on the text of the sonnets, but Erskine was frustrated by the lack of external historical evidence for Willie Hughes's existence. Graham tried to find such evidence but failed; instead, he fakes a portrait of Hughes in which Hughes is depicted with his hand on a book on which can be seen the dedication from the sonnets.

In the story, Lord Murchison recounts to his old friend a strange tale of a woman he had loved and intended to marry, but was now dead.

He suspected there was another man, and confronted her the next day. She confessed to having been there, but said nothing happened. He did not believe her and left; she died some time later.

Nel Fantasma di Canterville (1887) Wilde mescola ironia e orrore, patetico e sublime, in una storia originalissima che testimonia lo sconcertante impatto tra il razionalismo del Nuovo Mondo e il pathos romantico dei castelli inglesi. La sfinge senza enigmi (1894) e Il milionario modello (1887) sono due straordinari esempi dello stile brillante e mondano delle sue commedie, idolatrate dalla società vittoriana, mentre Il delitto di Lord Arthur Savile (1891) è la dimostrazione di come si possano coniugare verosimile e irrazionale in una storia di estrema piacevolezza.
