Book excerpt: Art and Morality A Defence of the Picture of Dorian Gray Oscar Wilde Edited by Stuart Mason On the whole, an artist in England gains something by being attacked.

Book excerpt: Letters to the Sphinx contains five main sections: the first is a typically characterful, cantankerous and yet appreciative essay of explanation by Oscar Wilde's literary executor and close friend, Robert Ross. Then follow three major essays of reminiscence by the Sphinx herself, the book's compiler, Ada Leverson, also a dear friend of Wilde: The Importance of Being Oscar gives an iconically witty introduction to how Wilde operated and who he was; The Last First Night gives an elegiac impression of the atmosphere Wilde generated at the zenith of his career; and, finally, Afterwards is a sombrely quiet reflection on Wilde's trials and imprisonment, his troubles, as he called them. Finally it becomes Wilde's turn to speak. In thirty letters, letter-excerpts and telegrams his nature is impressed upon us. From his highest manner which surprisingly lacked stiffness, and in his lowest spirits which were plainly humble, his facility with and mastery of words and epigram are clearly evident, providing a compelling portrait of a personality which was, as Ross claims, 'unique in English literature'. This slender volume was originally published as a limited edition in 1930 and has remained unavailable, except in the rare book market, ever since.

Download or read book Oscar Wilde written by Hesketh Pearson and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few personalities in the history of literature have aroused so much interest as that of Oscar Wilde, yet the essentials of his nature are still not recognized and we are left to catch glimpses of the real man in the scattered reminiscences of the period. Here, at last, is the whole life of the man who was probably the most delightful and witty conversationalist the world has ever seen. Hesketh Pearson has succeeded in presenting Oscar Wilde as he was at the Café Royale in London, and in making the reader see him as the darling of the drawing rooms, the conversationalist, not the convict. But this is not a hero-worshipping book—Pearson shows Wilde’s shortcomings and gives instances when Wilde was over-dramatic and when he failed to come off as a writer and a talker. This is a remarkable recreation of a genius set sharply in contrast to a period that battened on his wit, persecuted him, failed to understand him. Some of Wilde’s stories make their first appearance in this book as do some of the conversational original s of several witticisms in his plays. “The most true, the most sensible and the fairest book which has yet been written about Oscar Wilde.”—Harold Nicholson in The Observer Illustrated with 15 gravure plates.
