Produktbeschreibung
Cecil Dreeme & The Picture of Dorian Gray offers a remarkable exploration of identity, morality, and artistic culture through two profound narratives. This anthology masterfully intertwines the Gothic and aesthetic philosophies of Oscar Wilde with Theodore Winthrop's exploration of identity and morality, bringing to light the timeless interplay between personal and societal expectations. The diversity of literary styles, from Wilde's elaborate and colorful prose to Winthrop's deep introspective musings, fascinates readers with its complex representations of character duality and aestheticism's impact on human nature. The anthology is anchored by the unique perspectives of Oscar Wilde and Theodore Winthrop, two figures who, despite their differing historical and cultural contexts, delve deeply into themes of personal identity and societal influence. Wilde's involvement in the aesthetic movement and Winthrop's pre-Civil War American context offer a rich tapestry of perspectives that reflect on the human condition. Their varied voices-at times decadent and at times introspective-come together to provide a nuanced understanding of the dualities within human nature and the complexities of moral consciousness. For readers seeking to immerse themselves in a diverse blend of Gothic and moral inquiry, Cecil Dreeme & The Picture of Dorian Gray presents an invaluable collection. The anthology serves as a conduit for understanding the multifaceted approaches to themes of identity and morality. With contributions that span across time and cultural landscapes, readers are invited to scrutinize the compelling dialogue forged between the two novels, enriching their appreciation for the philosophical and aesthetic tensions that underlie great literature.
Autorenporträt
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, the early 1890s saw him become one of the most popular playwrights in London. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his criminal conviction for gross indecency for consensual homosexual acts in "one of the first celebrity trials", imprisonment, and early death from meningitis at age 46. Theodore Winthrop (1828-1861) was a writer, lawyer, and world traveller. He was one of the first Union officers killed in the American Civil War. Cecil Dreeme, his most important work, was a semi-autobiographical novel dealing with social mores and gender roles set at New York University, where Winthrop had once been a lodger.
