The Truth of Masks: A Note on Illusion (an essay of dramatic theory)

In 'The Truth of Masks' by Oscar Wilde, the author explores the concept of identity and the masks we wear in society through a series of thought-provoking essays. Written in Wilde's signature witty and satirical style, the book delves into the idea that true self-expression is often hidden behind societal expectations and conventions. Each essay provides a unique perspective on the facade we present to the world and the complexities of human nature, making it a compelling read for those interested in philosophical introspection. Wilde's literary context as a leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement shines through in his eloquent prose and sharp observations, drawing parallels to the works of other Victorian writers such as Carlyle and Ruskin. His ability to challenge societal norms and provoke thought is evident throughout the book, making it a valuable contribution to the realm of philosophical literature.
