The Wilde Years: Oscar Wilde & the Art of His Time - Softcover
Celebrated for his wit & flamaboyant personality, Oscar Wilde was a central figure in the artistic worlds of fin de siècle London and Paris. He was a poet, playwright, art critic, and, above all, he was known as a virtuoso "conversationalist." Furthermore, the extremity of his fate - imprisonment following his trials in 1895 for homosexual activities - made his name unforgettable as a "martyr" of his time. Focusing on the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the Wilde Years features Oscar Wilde as a central, catalytic figure linking two artistic capitals, London and Paris. Wilde is presented as a multi-faceted artist, whose major achievement was language, with which he contributed to the development of artistic and cultural movements of his age. In his lifetime, Wilde was praised as a poet, writer, and, in particular, playwright, but this publication throws new light on his lesser known work as an art critic, journalist, and progressive thinker.
