The Collected Oscar Wilde
The Collected Oscar Wilde | Oscar Wilde, Angus Fletcher
4 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
This volume features a wide selection of Wilde's 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 Shakespeare's sonnets were inspired by the poet's love for a young man; The House of Pomegranates, the author's 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, The Decay of Lying" and The Critic as Artist"; and a selection of verse, including his great poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol, in which Wilde famously declared that each man kills the thing he loves." A testament to Wilde's incredible versatility, this collection displays his legendary wit, brilliant use of language, and penetrating insight into the human condition.

I burned through the fiction sections, but now I‘m on poems. I have decided to read one a day, because that‘s about all I can handle. I‘m not a poetry fan. #oscarwilde
