What is there to say about words that move us as if we were the very letters that smoothly stir, of poems that are so rich in description we find ahead of us the depiction as if it were our very own reflection in an undisturbed pond, of the effortless rhymes that ever so swiftly dance on the tip of our tongues, of the longing to taste each reference as if it were a memory of our own pasts? Welcome back. For me there is absolutely no question; he is The Genius of characterization. Wilde simultaneously dismissed and encouraged such criticism with his statement in the preface, "There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book.

  • Modernist Aesthetic in the Case of Lord Alfred Douglas and Marie Carmichael Stopes
    33 The Poetry That Dare Not Speak Its Name: Modernist Aesthetic in the Case of Lord Alfred Douglas and Marie Carmichael Stopes Christina Hauck Kansas State University An improbable friendship sprang up in 1938 when one “Mrs Carmi- chael,” representing herself as a young mother, wrote Lord Alfred Douglas to show him a sonnet and ask his advice about publishing it. Little realizing that he was entering into correspondence with the notorious birth control advocate, Marie Carmichael Stopes, the staunchly Catholic Douglas wrote back kindly, calling Mrs. Carmichael a “pleasant poet” and lamenting his own difficulties publishing (Hall 282). If Douglas didn’t understand quite whom he was writing to, Stopes herself, rabidly homophobic and anti-Catholic, must have: Douglas’s claim to fame lay less in his poetry, whose quality critics debated fiercely when they bothered to read it at all, but in his having been a central actor in the events leading up to Oscar Wilde’s trial and imprisonment.1 By the time the correspondence had be- gun, Douglas had long converted to Catholicism and was admitting only to limited homosexual activities over a limited period, with Wilde or any- one else; Stopes apparently believed him.2 After several months, Stopes revealed her “true” identity. Douglas, understandably, was nervous. In a letter to George Bernard Shaw, he writes: I am fated to make friends with my enemies. For the last three months I have been corresponding with a lady who wrote about my poetry and poetry in general. She expressed great admira- tion for me as a poet.

Anne-Florence GILLARD-ESTRADA Oscar Wilde’s Aesthetics in the Making: The Reviews of the Grosvenor Gallery exhibitions of 1877 and 1879) This paper explores the first two texts Wilde published in 1877 and 1879 in Irish periodicals, which are reviews of the first and third exhibitions of the Grosvenor Gallery in 1877 and 1879. Wilde commented on the developments that had been affecting British painting for the past fifteen years or so. He addressed the works of artists who were then associated with the “classic” school of painting as well as with “Aestheticism”—which often overlapped. Moreover, he engaged in a dialogue with the reviewers and art critics who were favourable to such art.

  • The Life of Oscar Wilde
    Dixon 1 The late 19 th century was an exceptional time for literature in both Europe and the Americas. Arguably, some of the greatest minds in the history of Western literature actively published during this period. Twain, Melville, Dickens, Verne, Wilde and many others were widely circulated among both literary factions and laypersons. Through their fiction, their collective reach was enormous. For most of these writers, their fictive works have eclipsed their personal lives. Until recently, historians have focused only on these writers’ contributions to literature, rather than their intriguing personal histories as a whole. With the emergence of new types of historical inquiry, the study of literary figures has begun a paradigm shift toward examining the impact of their entire lives, rather than simply their works. In following that trend, this study will shine a unique light on not only the works, but also the life of one of the 19 th century’s most controversial authors: Oscar Wilde. Wilde saw himself as a brilliant Aesthetic artist, proclaiming during his 1882 American book tour, “I have nothing to declare but my genius.” 1 Early in his career the Victorian public viewed Wilde as an eccentric Aesthete whose plays delighted but often left the public feeling somewhat left out. Later, as Wilde’s now infamous trial approached, the public formed new ideas about homosexuality and began to develop tropes out of the mannerisms and dress of the Aesthetic movement to which Wilde belonged. The ways in which Oscar Wilde envisioned himself ran counter to the expectations of Victorian England; the mantle of homosexuality was thrust upon Wilde based on the narrow ideas of the society in which he lived – the public was simply ill- 1 Wilde, Oscar.

  • On the Rejection of Oscar Wilde's the Picture of Dorian Gray by W. H. Smith
    humanities Article On the Rejection of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray by W. H. Smith Satoru Fukamachi Faculty of Humanities, Doho University, Nagoya 453-8540, Japan; [email protected] Received: 1 September 2020; Accepted: 26 October 2020; Published: 29 October 2020 Abstract: Wilde’s only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, is widely said to have been rejected by W. H. Smith, but there is no doubt that this did not happen. The letter sent to Wilde by the publisher strongly indicates that W. H. Smith contemplated removing the July issue of Lippincott’s Magazine, but does not go so far as to say that the bookstore did. This letter is the only evidence, however, that this is not absolute. The refusal to sell is mere speculation. The fact that none of Wilde’s contemporaries mentioned the incident of The Picture of Dorian Gray that supposedly happened, while the boycott of George Moore’s Esther Waters, which was much less topical than this one, was widely reported and discussed, provides further evidence that Wilde’s work was not rejected. Given that the censorship of literary works by private enterprises was still topical in the 1890s, it is unbelievable that the rejection of Wilde’s novel would not have been covered by any newspaper. It makes no sense, except to think that such a thing did not exist at all. It is also clear that this was not the case in the 1895 Wilde trial. Wilde’s lawyer argued that the piece was not a social evil because it was sold uninterruptedly, and the other side, which would have liked to take advantage of it in any way, never once touched on the boycott.

  • An Introduction to Lady Windermere's Fan
    An introduction to Lady Windermere's Fan Article written by: Andrew Dickson Themes: Fin de siècle, Popular culture Published: 5 Nov 2018 Andrew Dickson explores some of complexities of Oscar Wilde’s first hit play, Lady Windermere’s Fan. Oscar Wilde’s first hit play, Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), is a hectic upper-class comedy, in which the tangled complexities of the plot are rivalled only by Wilde’s sparkling and witty dialogue. Relating an enjoyably unlikely story of a wife who suspects her husband of having an affair, only for the ‘other woman’ to be unmasked as her own mother, the drama was a hit on the London West End stage, and made Wilde rich. But despite its diamond-sharp one-liners, there is more to Lady Windermere’s Fan than mere entertainment: it is above all a subtle social satire, particularly pointed about the hypocrisy of Victorian attitudes to women and sex. Its meticulous construction and deft balance between comedy and seriousness point the way towards Wilde’s later scripts An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest, perhaps his masterworks. The background to the play By the early 1890s, it looked as if Wilde – then in his late 30s – might never have a successful career as a dramatist. Born in Dublin in 1854 and educated at the University of Oxford, Wilde spent his 20s as a freelance poet, lecturer, critic, and well-dressed man about town, yearning all the time to be taken seriously as a playwright. His first play, a tragedy called Vera (1881), failed when it was produced in New York; his second, a dour historical work in Shakespearian verse called The Duchess of Padua, was rejected by the actress who commissioned it.

    Modernist Vintages: The Significance of Wine in Wilde, Richardson, Joyce and Waugh by Laura Waugh A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved March 2013 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Mark Lussier, Chair Daniel Bivona Patrick Bixby ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2013 ABSTRACT “Modernist Vintages” considers the significance of wine in a selection of modernist texts that includes Oscar Wilde’s Salomé (1891), Dorothy Richardson’s Honeycomb (1917), James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922), and Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited: The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder (1945). The representations of wine in these fictions respond to the creative and destructive depictions of Wine that have imbued the narratives of myth, religion, and philosophy for thousands of years; simultaneously, these WorKs recreate and reflect on numerous Wine-related events and movements that shaped European discourse in the nineteenth and tWentieth centuries. The modernists use Wine’s conventional associations to diverse and innovative ends: as the playWright August Strindberg Writes, “NeW forms have not been found for the neW content, so that the neW Wine has burst the old bottles.” Wine in these works alternately, and often concurrently, evoKes themes that Were important to the modernists, including notions of indulgence and Waste, pleasure and addiction, experimentation and ritual, tradition and nostalgia, regional distinction and global expansion, wanton intoxication and artistic clarity.
