More about the book

The collection features a series of essays that highlight Oscar Wilde's sharp wit and extensive knowledge, reflecting his role as a key figure in the English Aesthetic movement. Advocating for "art for art's sake," he counters critics who believe art should serve a moral purpose. Throughout the essays, Wilde eloquently argues that true art embodies qualities like charm and beauty, while also elevating criticism to an art form in its own right. Each piece showcases his unique literary style and profound insights into art and society.
