Sobre este artículo
Barnes & Noble Classics, 2007. Softcover. Like New. 5x1x8. A renowned eccentric, dandy, and man-about-town, Oscar Wilde was foremost a dazzling wit and dramatic genius whose plays, poems, essays, and fiction contain some of the most frequently quoted quips and passages in the English language. This volume features a wide selection of Wildeâs literary output, including the comic masterpiece The Importance of Being Earnest, an immensely popular play filled with satiric epigrams that mercilessly expose Victorian hypocrisy; The Portrait of Mr. W. H., a story proposing that Shakespeareâs sonnets were inspired by the poetâs love for a young man; The House of Pomegranates, the authorâs collection of fairy tales; lectures Wilde delivered, first in the United States, where he exhorted his audiences to love beauty and art, and then in England, where he presented his impressions of America; his two major literary-theoretical works, âThe Decay of Lyingâ and âThe Critic as Artistâ; and a selection of verse, including his great poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol, in which Wilde famously declared that âeach man kills the thing he loves.â A testament to Wildeâs incredible versatility, this collection displays his legendary wit, brilliant use of language, and penetrating insight into the human condition.
