À propos de cet ebook
Oscar Wilde's 'Charmides, and Other Poems' is a collection of poetry that showcases Wilde's extraordinary talent for wit, beauty, and insight. The poems in this collection explore themes of love, beauty, and morality, often with a playful and satirical tone that is characteristic of Wilde's writing. The language is rich and elegant, filled with vivid imagery and clever wordplay that delights the reader. Wilde's poetry is deeply rooted in the literary tradition of the Romantic poets, yet he also brings a modern sensibility and a unique voice to his work. This collection is a perfect example of Wilde's ability to blend classical form with a distinctly contemporary perspective. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of art and social commentary in the Victorian era. Oscar Wilde, a renowned playwright and novelist, was also a gifted poet. His sharp wit, keen observation of society, and unconventional lifestyle are all evident in his poetry. Wilde's experiences as a queer man in Victorian society undoubtedly influenced his work, giving his poetry a subversive and provocative edge that still resonates today. Wilde's boldness and refusal to conform to societal norms are reflected in his poetry, making him a truly groundbreaking figure in the world of literature. I highly recommend 'Charmides, and Other Poems' to any reader who appreciates the artistry and complexity of Victorian poetry. Wilde's work is not only entertaining and thought-provoking but also offers a unique glimpse into the social and cultural dynamics of his time. This collection is a treasure trove of lyrical gems that will captivate and inspire readers of all backgrounds.
Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Oscar Wilde, an Irish playwright, poet, and author, was born on October 16, 1854, in Dublin, Ireland. Known for his barbed wit, satirical prowess, and flamboyant style, Wilde became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and Magdalen College, Oxford, he was a proponent of the aesthetic movement, which endorsed art for art's sake, and he famously promoted the doctrine of aestheticism through his works and life. Wilde's initial foray into the literary world as a poet is exemplified in his collection 'Charmides, and Other Poems,' which reflects his early command of language and themes of beauty and aesthetics. However, his reputation primarily hinges on his novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and plays like 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and 'An Ideal Husband,' which adeptly criticize Victorian society. Posthumously, Wilde's literary significance burgeoned, and scholars have valorized his work for its literary merit and social commentary. His sharp wit and celebration of beauty have influenced generations of writers. Wilde's career was tragically eclipsed when he was imprisoned for homosexuality, a scandal that overshadowed his later years. He died in Paris, on November 30, 1900, yet remains an enduring figure in literary history.
