Description

Explore the expansive life and work of Oscar Wilde through this scholarly collection of essays. Part of the Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature, this volume examines Wilde as a man of the world. Following the ideas presented in Baudelaire's essay "The Painter of Modern Life," the text looks beyond narrow national interests and cultural conventions. This collection investigates how Wilde sought out alternative sites for experience. It explores the connections between the real and imaginary, the geographical and historical, and the physical and intellectual. Readers will find deep analysis regarding how Wilde used these different worlds to navigate identity, including themes of alternative gender expression and sexual alterity. This book provides a way to understand Wilde's rejection of provincial concerns in favor of a much wider, more complex global and intellectual landscape.
