Miscellanies
Includes bibliography of Wilde's works, by Stuart Mason.
Transcribed from the 1908 edition by David Price
"Miscellanies" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of essays and other literary works written during the late 19th century. The collection showcases Wilde's diverse interests and intellect, focusing on topics such as art, aesthetics, and societal observations. The opening portions reveal Wilde's wit and rhetorical flair, setting the tone for an exploration of artistic expression and the human experience. The beginning of "Miscellanies" provides both a dedication and an introduction by Robert Ross, who discusses the fragmented nature of the volume while asserting Wilde's unique literary voice. Following this, the text touches upon Wilde's reflections on art, specifically through his commentary on the tomb of John Keats, which evokes themes of beauty, mortality, and poetic legacy. The subsequent sections delve into exhibitions at the Grosvenor Gallery, where Wilde critiques the works of other artists while showcasing his insightful analysis of contemporary art, ultimately revealing Wilde's commitment to a beauty defined by truth and emotional resonance.
