Produktbeschreibung
The Complete Poetical Works of Oscar Wilde encapsulates the rich tapestry of Wilde's literary genius, showcasing the evolution of his poetic voice from lyrical beauty to pointed social critique. Encompassing a wide range of themes, this collection delves into love, beauty, and the intricacies of human existence, rendered through Wilde's signature wit and stylistic elegance. His verse, often marked by a sumptuous musicality, reflects the influences of the late Victorian era and aligns with the Aesthetic Movement, which championed 'art for art's sake.' Through various forms-including sonnets, ballads, and epigrams-Wilde deftly intertwines personal emotion with broader societal observations, creating works that resonate with both beauty and intellect. Oscar Wilde, a groundbreaking playwright and poet, emerged from the heart of a repressive society grappling with rigid moral codes. His own life, characterized by flamboyance and unapologetic individuality, undoubtedly informed his poetic exploration of taboo subjects and the complexities of identity. Wilde's education at Trinity College and Magdalen College, Oxford laid a foundation for his literary pursuits, nurturing his distinctive voice that continues to influence writers today. This comprehensive collection is a must-read for both aficionados of poetry and casual readers alike, as it not only highlights Wilde's lyrical mastery but also offers a profound commentary on art, society, and the human condition. Engaging with Wilde's poetry invites readers to reflect on their own perspectives of beauty and morality, making this anthology an essential addition to any literary library.
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.
