Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oscar Wilde For many years ordinary people to whom literature and literary affairs were not of, at anyrate, absorbing interest only knew of Oscar Wilde by his extravagances and poses. Then it happened that Wilde turned his powers in the direction of the stage and achieved a swift and brilliant success. The English public then began to realise that here was an unusually brilliant man, and the extraordinary genius of the subject of this work would have certainly been universally recognised in a few more years, when the shocking scandals associated with his name occurred and Oscar Wilde disappeared into oblivion. A great change gradually took place in public opinion. Little by little the feeling of prejudice against the work of Oscar Wilde began to die away. The man himself was dead.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oscar Wilde: Fragments and Memories Arly in the nineties Clyde Fitch, an ambitious young American, had a play produced in London.\ After the final curtain some rowdies in the pit coaxed the inexperienced playwright to appear before the footlights and proceeded to boo and hiss him off as soon as he stepped in view. But the young man was not crushed. They will have to applaud me yet, he exclaimed, and his subsequent meteoric career proved that he had fine talents. At that time, however, there were few in London who would listen to his verses, stories, and plays, and fewer still tobuy them. In a notebook of the period we find him paraphrasing an ancient pessimistic troubadour, My fate is like the nightingale's, That singeth all night long, While still the woodlands mournfully But echo back his song.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisdom of Oscar Wilde: Selected With Introduction and Index But I do not wish now to attempt a de tailed appreciation of the works of Oscar Wilde. I wish simply to ask the reader to judge for himself and see if he can not find in what is here presented to him a justification for their preservation. Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rock where I may hide, and sweet valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt; she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitterness make me whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oscar Wilde, an Idler's Impression One may wonder though whether it were their doing, or even Wilde's, that put him there. One may wonder whether it were not the high fates who so gratified him in order that, from his purgatory, he might rise to a life more evolved. But that view is perhaps obvious. Wilde himself, who was the least mystic of men, accepted it. In the De Pro fundis, after weighing his disasters, he said Of these things I am not yet worthy.

Download or read book The Picture of Dorian Gray written by Oscar Wilde and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscar Wilde’s enduringly popular story of a beautiful and corrupt man and the portrait that reveals all his secrets—The Picture of Dorian Gray is a novel as flamboyant and controversial as its incomparable author. Entranced by the perfection of his recently painted portrait, the youthful Dorian Gray expresses a wish that the figure on the canvas could age and change in his place. When his wish comes true, the portrait becomes his hideous secret as he follows a downward trajectory of decadence and cruelty that leaves its traces only in the portrait’s degraded image. The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde’s unforgettable portrayal of a Faustian bargain and its consequences, is narrated with his characteristic incisive wit and diamond-sharp prose.
