Authors in Context: Oscar Wilde - Oxford World's Classics
Sloan, John (, Tutor and Fellow in English, Harris Manchester College, Oxford)
Wit, dandy, literary anarchist, self-publicist, and homosexual martyr: Wilde achieved fame and notoriety at a time when mass culture and communication promoted the 'new' in every area of British life. This book examines the rich interplay between Wilde's society and his writings and shows the remarkable recontextualizing of Wilde and his work in film, stage, and the media in the century following his death.
