This collection is not only a testament to Wilde's literary prowess but also reflects the broader context of the late 19th century, where folklore and fairy tales began to be reimagined in more nuanced, often subversive ways. Oscar Wilde, renowned for his flamboyant style and sharp intellect, was a key figure in the Aesthetic Movement, advocating 'art for art's sake.'

Autorenporträt

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish writer, poet and dramatist. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays and poetry, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. Wilde is a central figure in aesthetic writing. His controversial, open lifestyle was the reason he was charged and eventually convicted for the crime of sodomy.
