Rreth këtij libri elektronik
In "Charmides, and Other Poems," Oscar Wilde showcases his signature aestheticism through a collection that reflects his deep engagement with themes of beauty, love, and the complexities of the human soul. The poems are characterized by rich imagery, musicality, and an exploration of philosophical ideas mirroring the Pre-Raphaelite movement and Symbolism. The titular poem, "Charmides," embodies Wilde's fascination with Greek philosophy and ancient mythology, weaving together sensuality and intellectualism in lush verse that captures the nuances of desire and contemplation. Oscar Wilde, a leading figure of the late 19th-century literary scene, was known for his sharp wit and flamboyant style both on and off the page. His experiences in the vibrant cultural milieu of Victorian London, combined with his classical education and profound interest in aesthetics, significantly influenced his poetic voice. "Charmides, and Other Poems" serves as a testament to his desire to express the paradoxes of human experience, interlacing his characteristically bold exploration of themes with an appreciation for the poetic form. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate lyrical poetry that transcends mere sentimentality. Wilde's eloquent verses invite readers to reflect on the interplay of intellect and emotion, making this an essential read for those drawn to the beauty of language and the depths of philosophical inquiry.
Rreth autorit
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.
