Description

Wilde?s essays on art, criticism, and the pose of beauty: Decay of Lying, Critic as Artist, and their companions of irony and aesthetic nerve. Usable argument with glitter. Spoken as when style becomes a philosophy you can hear.

Author

Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was born in Dublin, took a double first at Magdalen College, Oxford, and made conversation a form of literature. The Picture of Dorian Gray is the one novel — beauty, bargain, and a portrait that keeps the score. The Importance of Being Earnest is the comedy in which nothing is earnest except the jokes. Prison and exile followed the trials. Style was an ethic. Scandal became a second plot.
