Meticulously arranged, this accessible volume includes freestanding discussions of individual works, including clarification of Wilde's pioneering contextual examinations and his innovative and influential stylistic achievements. Readers will find a solid foundation for understanding his works and will benefit from new insights into the impact of his writing on subsequent authors. Additionally, the surveys of the interpretive approaches offered by contemporary literary theories will highlight for readers a range of research possibilities. This book also includes lists of selected websites and artistic adaptations of Wilde's works, a chronology of Wilde's publications, and a comprehensive secondary bibliography to permit readers to develop both a wide-ranging background and a selective focus of interests"-- Provided by publisher. |
