Items related to Selected Works (Oxford Authors S.)
This edition of Oscar Wilde's work stresses the range of his achievement in many genres and includes fiction, drama, poems, critical dialogues, poems in prose and aphorisms. It is designed to provide guidance to the wealth of knowledge and allusion upon which his writing stands. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) studied Greek and Latin and was widely read in English, French and American literature; his wide-ranging interests in all the arts inspired much of his work. Through her notes, Isobel Murray enables the modern reader to read Wilde as contemporaries such as Pater, Yeats and Symons read him, in a shared cultural context and for the seriousness of his writing and the astuteness of his criticism. Isobel Murray is editor of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1974) and Wilde's "Complete Shorter Fiction" (1979).

From the Author:
This edition contains hitherto unpublished poems
This edition is the first and only one to include a poem called 'La Circassienne', which I discovered in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. I also discovered different versions of two poems: 'Pan' and 'Desespoir'. These versions of the poems were copied from manuscripts collected together by one of Wilde's earliest editors and then appear to have been forgotten until they appeared in this selection.
