Oscar Wilde in America : The Interviews, Hardback Book

Oscar Wilde in America : The Interviews Hardback

Edited by Matthew Hofer, Gary Scharnhorst

Hardback

Description

Better known in 1882 as a cultural icon than a serious writer, Oscar Wilde was brought to North America for a major lecture tour on Aestheticism and the decorative arts.

With characteristic aplomb, he adopted the role as the ambassador of Aestheticism, and he tried out a number of phrases, ideas, and strategies that ultimately made him famous as a novelist and playwright.

This exceptional volume cites all ninety-one of Wilde's interviews and contains transcripts of forty-eight of them, and it also includes his lecture on his travels in America.
