Oscar Wilde's Profession: Writing and the Culture Industry in the Late Nineteenth Century
Guy, Josephine M. (Senior Lecturer in the School of English, Senior Lecturer in the School of English, University of Nottingham)
Presents an account of Wilde's writing career, based on publishing contracts and other documentation, as well as evidence of how he composed. This book argues that Wilde was not driven by an oppositional politics, nor was he an aesthetic 'purist'. His writing practices, including his 'plagiarism', reflected the pragmatism of a professional.
