'Oscar Wilde,' wrote Richard Ellman. 'We only have to hear the great name to anticipate that what will be quoted as his will surprise and delight us. Among the writers identified with the 1890s, Wilde is the only one who everybody still reads. The various labels that have been applied to the age - Aestheticism, Decadence - ought not to conceal the fact that our first association with it is Wilde. Now, beyond the reach of scandal, his best writings validated by time, he comes before us still, a towering figure, laughing and weeping, with parables and paradoxes, so generous, so amusing.' Explore the work and life of Oscar Wilde with key texts and books about this legendary figure.
