Résumé

In questa brillante raccolta di saggi Oscar Wilde scrive di arte, letteratura e critica. Racconta di come Shakespeare usasse l'architettura e i costumi per far capire il suo punto di vista e dibatte la possibilità che la critica d'arte sia una forma d'arte in sé. Le sue intenzioni sono audaci, perspicaci e spiritose e le sue idee vi faranno sicuramente riflettere su nuove questioni. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) è stato un drammaturgo, romanziere, saggista e poeta irlandese. Tra le sue opere più celebri ricordiamo il romanzo "Il ritratto di Dorian Gray" e la commedia teatrale "L'importanza di chiamarsi Ernesto." Dandy raffinato, scrittore all'avanguardia, omosessuale in un'epoca e in un paese in cui l'omosessualità era ancora considerata un reato, Oscar Wilde è unanimemente riconosciuto come una delle voci più importanti della letteratura dell'Ottocento.

  • Oscar Wilde (auteur)

    Oscar Wilde was a prominent figure in the aestheticism movement, engaging in various literary activities such as publishing poems and lecturing on art. He gained fame with his only novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray," which incorporated themes of decadence and beauty. Wilde also wrote successful society comedies and was one of the most renowned playwrights of late-Victorian London. However, his fame was overshadowed by a scandal when he prosecuted the Marquess of Queensberry for libel, leading to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency. Wilde was convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labor. During his imprisonment, he wrote his last work, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol." Wilde's life was marked by personal tragedies, including the death of his sister and the loss of his reputation. He left a lasting legacy as a writer and is remembered for his wit and literary contributions.
