Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why was Paris so popular as a place of both innovation and exile in the late nineteenth century? Using French, English and American sources, this first volume of a trilogy provides a possible answer with a detailed exploration of both the city and its communities, who, forming a varied cast of colourful characters from duchesses to telephonists, artists to beggars, and dancers to diplomats, crowd the stage. Through the throng moves Oscar Wilde as the connecting thread: Wilde exploratory, Wilde triumphant, Wilde ruined. This use of Wilde as a central figure provides both a cultural history of Paris and a view of how he assimilated himself there. By interweaving fictional representations of Paris and Parisians with historical narrative, Paris of the imagination is blended with the topography of the city described by Victor Hugo as ‘this great phantom composed of darkness and light’. This original treatment of the belle époque is couched in language accessible to all who wish to explore Paris on foot or from an armchair.

Book excerpt: " En 1891, c'est-à-dire l'année même où il fait paraître, précédé d'une préface qui résume ses théories esthétiques, Le Portrait de Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde, sous le titre d'Intentions, rassemble quatre études critiques : " Le Déclin du mensonge ", " Plume, pinceaux, poison ", " La critique est un art " et " La Vérité des masques ". Le recueil a sans doute souffert de sa trop grande proximité avec les formules si frappantes que propose la préface du Portrait. S'il mérite cependant d'être aujourd'hui redécouvert, c'est qu'Oscar Wilde y renouvelle l'esthétique de son époque, en prenant aussi bien pour cible la respectabilité victorienne qu'une modernité étriquée. En refusant l'alliance de l'art et de la morale et la superposition du Bien et du Beau, il nous propose une pensée de la transgression qui ne s'interdit ni le brillant du paradoxe, ni le mordant du polémique."

Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its characteristics. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.He finished reading the moved works of Oscar Wilde's last works, written after a fundamental experience in his life, which was the penalty of two years in prison in Reading prison. As a prologue to this recommendation, I will begin by saying that, once again, I have discovered the relevance of the fine print of History. Contrary to what many people probably think (I thought so), Oscar Wilde was not brought to court for something that suddenly someone discovered. In Victorian society everything was known. It was Lord Alfred Douglas (Wilde's lover), who convinced him to complain against his father (Douglas, the Marquis of Queensberry), for defamation.
Download or read book Oscar Wilde Paris written by Herbert R. Lottman and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbert Lottman retrace ici l'amitié amoureuse d'Oscar Wilde pour Paris et pour la France, depuis son premier voyage à Paris en 1874 jusqu'à sa mort en 1900. Ses innombrables visites menèrent Wilde de salons en cafés parisiens où il côtoya les beaux esprits (Mallarmé, Pierre Louÿs, Gide, Paul Valéry...). Il aimait aussi fréquenter les lieux malfamés, rencontrer des artistes, des poètes et des mauvais garçons. Francophone raffiné, il écrivit même une pièce en français, Salomé ; comme la censure britannique en interdit la représentation, il tempêta et menaça d'émigrer en France et d'en solliciter la nationalité. Plus tard, à sa sortie de prison, ruiné et vilipendé, c'est encore en France qu'il chercha refuge. Et il y vécut ses dernières années dans la misère et la solitude. Brisé par sa chute spectaculaire dans l'infamie pour avoir, contre toute raison, poursuivi en diffamation le père de son amant qui le traitait de "sodomite ", Oscar Wilde proclamait qu'il avait mis son talent dans son œuvre et son génie dans sa vie. Le conformisme et la discrétion n'étaient pas ses vertus préférées : homme d'esprit provocateur et dérangeant, Oscar Wilde défiait les convenances d'une société pudibonde.

Book excerpt: "Intentions By Oscar Wilde was published in 1891 when Wilde was at the height of his form, these brilliant essays on art, literature, criticism, and society display the flamboyant poseur's famous wit and wide learning. A leading spokesman for the English Aesthetic movement, Wilde promoted art for art's sake against critics who argued that art must serve a moral purpose. On every page of this collection the gifted literary stylist admirably demonstrates not only that the characteristics of art are ""distinction, charm, beauty, and imaginative power, but also that criticism itself can be raised to an art form possessing these very qualities.In the opening essay, Wilde laments the decay of Lying as an art, a science, and a social pleasure. He takes to task modern literary realists like Henry James and Emile Zola for their ""monstrous worship of facts"" and stifling of the imagination. What makes art wonderful, he says, is that it is absolutely indifferent to fact, invents, imagines, dreams, and keeps between herself and reality the impenetrable barrier of beautiful style, of decorative or ideal treatment."
