Better known in 1882 as a cultural icon than a serious writer,
Oscar Wilde was brought to North America for a major lecture tour
on Aestheticism and the decorative arts. With characteristic
aplomb, he adopted the role as the ambassador of Aestheticism, and
he tried out a number of phrases, ideas, and strategies that
ultimately made him famous as a novelist and playwright. This
exceptional volume cites all ninety-one of Wilde's interviews and
contains transcripts of forty-eight of them, and it also includes
his lecture on his travels in America.
