This text examines the major prose and plays of Oscar Wilde, providing detailed discussions of specific texts within their wider literary context. The author also explores Wilde's influence on contemporary popular culture.
This new study of the major prose and plays of Oscar Wilde argues that his dominant aesthetic category is not art but style. It is this major emphasis on style and attitude which helps mark Wilde so graphically as our contemporary. Beginning with a survey of current Wilde criticism, the book demonstrates the way his own critical essays anticipate much contemporary cultural theory and inform his own practice as a writer.
