Seller's Description:
Very good in Good jacket. xix, [1], 239, [3] pages. Illustrations. Some wear to dust jacket edges Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper--Inscription reads For Jim, Ideal host for a scholarly Bunbury--from Rodney. Chiveden 1978. Includes List of Plates (15 black and white plates between pages 72 and 73), Preface, Chronological Table, Notes, Bibliography, and Index. This is the first critical study to consider in detail everything that Oscar Wilde wrote. The author argues that Wilde's adaptations of various literary genres and styles represent his attempts to define his artistic identity, and also his relationship with a society that he longed and expected to conquer but found increasingly hostile to everything that he most valued. Wilde's principal solution to these two related issues was the creation of the "dandy'', but this was only one of the many forms by which the artist's personality might assert its individual nature. Rodney Shewan was a Lecturer in English Literature at Stanford University in Britain. He was the co-editor with Peter Stansky of the series The Aesthetic Movement and the Arts and Crafts Movement.
