In Praise of Disobedience draws on works from a single miraculous
year in which Oscar Wilde published the larger part of his greatest
works in 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 Picture 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 revitalize
an often misunderstood legacy.
