Oscar Wilde in Outline

Description of book

Learn about the many talents and achievements of Oscar Wilde—the playwright, novelist, critic, poet, and essayist.

Author Charles J. Finger is critical of Wilde as a novelist, claiming that only The Picture of Dorian Gray will be remembered in posterity. But he is effusive in his praise of Wilde as a playwright and essayist, and explores each creative aspect of this talented man’s endeavors.
