Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A new selection of the powerful and moving letters and poems Wilde wrote in prison, edited with an introduction by Colm T ibinAt the start of 1895, Oscar Wilde was the toast of London- a member of the social and intellectual elite, he was widely feted for his most recent stage success, An Ideal Husband. But by May of the same year, Wilde was in prison, bankrupt and with his reputation in ruins. 'De Profundis' is the astonishing letter he wrote to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, from prison; Colm T ibin describes it as Wilde's 'greatest piece of prose-writing'. Also included in this volume is 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol', as well as other letters revealing to the wider world what prison really did to its inmates. An account of Oscar Wilde's spiritual journey while in prison, and describes his new, shocking conviction that 'the supreme vice is shallowness'. It also includes further letters to his wife, his friends, the Home Secretary, himself, as well as "The Ballad of Reading Gaol", the poem about a man sentenced to hang for the murder of woman he loved.

Condition: Nuevo. Primera edición. Libro NUEVO. Biblioteca Otras Eutopías. Colección Interdisciplinar de Estudios Culturales. Nuevo. El hecho de que la historia biográfica y la literaria marchen a veces paralelas debe quedar suficientemente claro incluso para el estudiante de literatura que se refiere al drama isabelino o a la poesía victoriana como tales, entidades metafísicas cuyos nacimientos y muertes tienen coherencia respecto a un cierto uso del lenguaje pero sobre las que declarar que finalizaron con las muertes empíricas de Isabel I y Victoria respectivamente, sería por supuesto, una de las más obvias tautologías. Este libro aborda el análisis de esta problemática a través del estudio de tres figuras emblemáticas de la modernidad: Alfred Tennyson, Charles Baudelaire y Oscar Wilde. New.

Condition: Fair. First Edition. 'I have nothing to declare,' Wilde once told an American customs official, 'except my genius.' A good part of that genius is evident in the essays and poems included in this volume. There is the intellectual genius of "The Soul of Man under Socialism", in which he clearly foresaw the dangers of economic bureaucracy and state-worship: for Wilde, socialism meant liberation and individuality, not enslavement. Then there is the emotional genius of "De Profundis", the long, introspective and often hostile letter he addressed to Lord Alfred Douglas from prison. And there is the poetical genius of "The Ballad of Reading Gaol", in which Wilde's generous nature could movingly express for another's misery the sorrow he found it hard to express for his own. This collection contains, too, many examples of that humorous and epigrammic genius which captured the London theatre and which, by suddenly casting light from an unexpected angle, widened the bounds of truth.; Repr. 1980, met verschoten omslag & gelig papier.
