In Praise of Disobedience draw on works from a single miraculous
year in which Oscar Wilde published the larger part of his greatest
prose - the year he came into maturity as an artist. Before the end
of 1891, he had written the first of his phenomenally successful
plays and met the young man who would win his heart, beginning the
love affair that would lead to imprisonment and public infamy. In a
witty introduction, playwright, novelist and Wilde scholar Neil
Bartlett explains what made this point in the writer's life central
to his genius and why Wilde remains a provocative and radical
figure to this day. Included here are the entirety of Wilde's foray
into political philosophy, The Soul of Man Under Socialism; the
complete essay collection Intentions; selections from The Portrait
of Dorian Gray as well as its paradoxical and scandalous preface;
and some of Wilde's greatest fictions for children. Each selection
is accompanied by stimulating and enlightening annotations. A
delight for fans of Oscar Wilde, In Praise of Disobedience will
restore and revitalize an often misunderstood legacy.
