Description
Oscar Wilde: A Writer in Context. This volume examines the work of Oscar Wilde in relation to his own time and its enduring relevance today. By combining history with lively literary discussion, it provides comprehensive insight into Wilde's plays, tales, and critical writings. Wilde's writing questioned traditional attitudes to religion, sexuality, women, and the home, crime and punishment, and the freedom of the individual. This book explores the rich interplay between his society and his writings, revealing how his work has been recontextualized on stage, in film, and in the media over the past century. The Oxford World's Classics series offers affordable volumes that reflect a commitment to scholarship, providing accurate texts with expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
