It is both a challenge and a pleasure to teach the works of Oscar
Wilde, "the master of paradox," in the words of this volume's
editor. Wilde wrote at a pivotal moment between the Victorian
period and modernism, and his work is sometimes considered
prescient of the postmodern age. He is now taught in a variety of
university courses: in literature, theater, criticism, Irish
studies, cultural studies, gender studies, and gay studies.
This volume, like others in the MLA series Approaches to
Teaching World Litereature, is divided into two parts. The first,
"Materials," suggests editions, resources, and criticism, both in
print and online, that may be useful for the teacher. The second
part, "Approaches," contains twenty-five essays that discuss
Wilde's stories, fairy tales, poetry, plays, essays, letters, and
life--from the perspective of a wide range of disciplines.
