Miscellanies

If you’re looking to learn a little more about Wilde the man, as apposed to Wilde the persona, ‘Miscellanies’ is the place to start. A collection of writings, lectures, letters, and reviews, it shows the more vulnerable side of the writer. His thoughts on everything from art and fashion to Americans and poetry are peppered with his trademark, acidic wit, yet reveal a more thoughtful aspect than was shown to the public. A fascinating read for those who want to get to know Wilde that much better.

Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900) was an Irish novelist, poet, playwright, and wit. He was an advocate of the Aesthetic movement, which extolled the virtues of art for the sake of art. During his career, Wilde wrote nine plays, including ‘The Importance of Being Earnest, ’ ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan, ’ and ‘A Woman of No Importance, ’ many of which are still performed today. His only novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ was adapted for the silver screen, in the film, ‘Dorian Gray, ’ starring Ben Barnes and Colin Firth. In addition, Wilde wrote 43 poems, and seven essays. His life was the subject of a film, starring Stephen Fry.
