Wilde Between the Sheets: Oscar Wilde, Mail Bondage and De
Profundis argues that Oscar Wilde's narrative strategies reveal a
quick-witted, ingenious fighter-an active agent who tested
boundaries and recognized the dangers of doing so, adopting
essentialist or anti-essentialist strategies according to whatever
shifting purpose he is writing with. David Walton challenges the
one-dimensional view of Wilde as a tragic victim defeated by the
penal system, arguing that Wilde constructed a self by weaving
complex networks of time and paradoxical notions of space, along
with a network of literary references and other intertexts. Walton
goes on to claim that Wilde fashions a self while simultaneously
being shaped by those he fashions, creating a critical dialogue
which shows that, by constructing Wilde through interpretive acts,
he has already been partially fashioned by Wilde himself.
