Title: Cosmopolitan criticism
First published: 1997
Description: "In the first book to explore the philosophical significance of Oscar Wilde's life and work, Julia Prewitt Brown establishes Wilde's importance to nineteenth-century literature and thought by placing him in the continuum of continental aesthetic philosophy from Kant and Schiller, through Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, to Benjamin and Adorno." "Cosmopolitan Criticism is an interdisciplinary study that should appeal not only to Wilde enthusiasts but also to readers interested in nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature and aesthetics."--BOOK JACKET.
