Description
An increasing amount of attention is being given to Wilde as a proto-feminist, a proto-republican, an embryonic postmodernist, and a sort of secular saint. This book collects all of Wilde's journalism, criticism, lectures, and occasional writings. It will also contain a section on aphorisms and dicta attributed to Wilde in conversation.
Author Biography
Born in Ireland, Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wilde (1854-1900) was educated in Dublin and Oxford and went on to become the leading and most prominent exponent of aestheticism. He wrote many plays, a novel, short stories, poetry and criticism. Imprisoned for homosexual acts, he died after his release in exile in Paris. Linda Dowling is Professor of English at Princeton.
