Yes; she is a peacock in everything but beauty, said Lord Henry, pulling the daisy to bits with his long nervous fingers. I don’t think I shall send it anywhere, he answered, tossing his head back in that odd way that used to make his friends laugh at him at Oxford.

This project, which will draw the Oxford University Press Complete Works of Oscar Wilde to a conclusion, involves editing his famous epigrams, both in their published and manuscript forms, as well as a group of works that deserve to be better known among scholars and general readers: the lectures he delivered to many different audiences in Canada, England, Ireland, and the United States during the 1880s; numerous unpublished essays and reviews; and - perhaps most important - several unfinished dramas, which include several courageous plays that address sensitive topics such as incest, adultery, and illegitimacy. Wilde believes this idea is terrible and sketches out what he believes literature (and almost almost all art) should consist of, how it should proceed and what its goals should be. Io e la saggistica siamo proprio su due pianeti diversi: nemmeno l'intervento di Wilde è riuscita a farmela apprezzare, tanto che ho trovato questi scritti incredibilmente pesanti e di difficile comprensione. There is further proof that the developed scenario that Constance was reconstituted from was written by Wilde between 1897 and his death in 1900, rather than the 1894 George Alexander scenario which Merlin Holland quotes.

Complete set of the works of Oscar Wilde, including For Love of a King issued in 1922 and often missing from this set. By arrangement with the trade publisher, Methuen, 195 copies (and five "presentation and reference copies") were published as an "autographed limited de luxe edition" which appeared simultaneously with the trade impression.

Then I feel, Harry, that I have given away my whole soul to someone who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat, a bit of decoration to charm his vanity, an ornament for a summer’s day. Anyways, thank you Oscar, for all of the 1,114 pages of published writing I’ve read in the past 5 weeks. Oh, I am tired of sitting, and I don’t want a life-sized portrait of myself, answered the lad, swinging round on the music-stool in a wilful, petulant manner.Infine, " Vera o i Nichilisti", che inizialmente annoia per la tematica politica, conquista con un linguaggio raffinatissimo ed un'impareggiabile purezza dei sentimenti e delle intenzioni, per poi terminare, ahimè, in modo troppo frettoloso.

I believe that you are really a very good husband, but that you are thoroughly ashamed of your own virtues. Yes, continued Lord Henry, that is one of the great secrets of life—to cure the soul by means of the senses, and the senses by means of the soul. Illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley, Walter Crane, Jacomb Hood, Henry Keen,Charles Robinson (illustrator).He changed the way I understood writing and reading entirely, made me fall in love with his every word and get lost in his ideas, his thoughts, his world. I love how an author who wrote over 100 years ago can make me laugh out loud; I love that his jabs at Americans are still relevant.
