Wilde's Intentions: The Artist in his Criticism
Danson, Lawrence (Professor of English, Professor of English, Princeton University)
Wilde's Intentions is the first extended study of Oscar Wilde in his role of `the critic as artist'. Lawrence Danson shows how Wilde's essays and dialogues sought to create a new ideal of English culture, elevating what he called `lies' above history and ending the sway of `nature' over liberated human desire.
