Description: "Wide-ranging in scope and fresh in perspective, this group of essays, revised after their first exposure at Hofstra University in April 2000, is also very timely, given the recent resurgence of Wilde as a subject of films, plays, and other forms of attention in the popular media. Oscar Wilde: The Man, His Writings, and His World provides a much-needed entry-point to fruitful inquiries of the complex and often controversial figure of Oscar Wilde and his diverse literary oeuvre."--Jacket.
