Abstract: Nello sterminato groviglio del decadentismo di fine secolo, dell'art Nouveau e di un ossessivo interesse per le mode, Salomè è un capolavoro di arguzia e sofisticatezza. è l'esemplificazione del concetto che Wilde aveva di arte: pura formalizzazione, puro artifizio, puro fatto stilistico. scritto a Parigi nel 1891, il dramma fu censurato a Londra in base a una vecchia legge che vietava di mettere in scena i personaggi biblici. solo nel 1931 poté essere rappresentato senza scandalo. Oramai, però, Salomè era considerato il miglior lavoro di Wilde. Questa edizione è accompagnata dai raffinati disegni di Aubrey Beardsley e dall'introduzione di Alberto Arbasino, che svela gli aspetti eccessivi e spettacolari del teatro wildiano.

Abstract: "Mi sorprendo sempre. È l'unica cosa per cui valga la pena vivere"Dotato di un soprannaturale talento per la frase a effetto, il gioco retorico e la prestidigitazione verbale, Wilde è il maestro riconosciuto dell'aforisma. In questa raccolta, che attinge sia dalla produzione prettamente aforistica sia da quella narrativa e drammatica del grande autore inglese, è racchiusa una completa panoramica del suo genio, ordinatamente disposta per tematiche in modo da facilitare la consultazione. "Spesso penso che Dio, nel creare l'uomo, abbia in qualche modo sopravvalutato la Sua capacità": difficile, pensando a Oscar Wilde, essere d'accordo con lui.

Titolo e contributi: Il critico come artista
Pubblicazione: Feltrinelli Editore, 07/04/2017
EAN: 9788807901928
Data:07-04-2017
Abstract: Questi due saggi di Oscar Wilde sono dei veri e propri gioielli letterari e fanno parte della raccolta "Intentions" del 1891. Il critico come artista (1890), che inizialmente si intitolava "La vera funzione e il vero valore della critica", è scritto in forma di dialogo tra due amici in una notte stellata: Gilbert (che impersona le idee di Wilde) ed Ernest discutono sul significato della critica d'arte. Wilde vi sostiene che: tutta l'arte è immorale e tutto il pensiero è pericoloso; la critica è più creativa della creazione; la critica più alta è quella che rivela nell'opera d'arte quanto l'artista non vi aveva messo; il vero critico è ingiusto, insincero, irrazionale. L'arte e la critica, per Wilde, hanno un valore eversivo e sono in contrapposizione alla società. Da qui nasce il secondo saggio, "L'anima dell'uomo sotto il socialismo" (1891), dove vi si esprimono, forse in risposta al socialismo di George Bernard Shaw, le idee anarchiche di Wilde (che era un ammiratore dell'anarchico russo Kropotkin): abolizione della proprietà privata, ma anche del matrimonio; attacco a tutte le forme di governo e a tutte le forme di organizzazione economica (compreso il collettivismo).

Abstract: A House of Pomegranates is a collection of fairy tales, written by Oscar Wilde, that was published in 1891 as a second collection for The Happy Prince and Other Tales (1888). Wilde once said that this collection was "intended neither for the British child nor the British public."The stories included in this collection are as follows:The Young KingThe Birthday of the InfantaThe Fisherman and his SoulThe Star-ChildTHE YOUNG KING (excerpt)It was the night before the day fixed for his coronation, and the young King was sitting alone in his beautiful chamber. His courtiers had all taken their leave of him, bowing their heads to the ground, according to the ceremonious usage of the day, and had retired to the Great Hall of the Palace, to receive a few last lessons from the Professor of Etiquette; there being some of them who had still quite natural manners, which in a courtier is, I need hardly say, a very grave offence.The lad - for he was only a lad, being but sixteen years of age - was not sorry at their departure, and had flung himself back with a deep sigh of relief on the soft cushions of his embroidered couch, lying there, wild-eyed and open-mouthed, like a brown woodland Faun, or some young animal of the forest newly snared by the hunters.And, indeed, it was the hunters who had found him, coming upon him almost by chance as, bare-limbed and pipe in hand, he was following the flock of the poor goatherd who had brought him up, and whose son he had always fancied himself to be. The child of the old King's only daughter by a secret marriage with one much beneath her in station - a stranger, some said, who, by the wonderful magic of his lute-playing, had made the young Princess love him; while others spoke of an artist from Rimini, to whom the Princess had shown much, perhaps too much honour, and who had suddenly disappeared from the city, leaving his work in the Cathedral unfinished - he had been, when but a week old, stolen away from his mother's side, as she slept, and given into the charge of a common peasant and his wife, who were without children of their own, and lived in a remote part of the forest, more than a day's ride from the town. Grief, or the plague, as the court physician stated, or, as some suggested, a swift Italian poison administered in a cup of spiced wine, slew, within an hour of her wakening, the white girl who had given him birth, and as the trusty messenger who bare the child across his saddle-bow stooped from his weary horse and knocked at the rude door of the goatherd's hut, the body of the Princess was being lowered into an open grave that had been dug in a deserted churchyard, beyond the city gates, a grave where it was said that another body was also lying, that of a young man of marvellous and foreign beauty, whose hands were tied behind him with a knotted cord, and whose breast was stabbed with many red wounds...Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays, as well as the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death.Wilde's parents were successful Anglo-Irish, Dublin intellectuals. Their son became fluent in French and German early in life. At university, Wilde read Greats; he proved himself to be an outstanding classicist, first at Dublin, then at Oxford. He became known for his involvement in the rising philosophy of aestheticism, led by two of his tutors, Walter Pater and John Ruskin. After university, Wilde moved to London into fashionable cultural and social circles.As a spokesman for aestheticism, he tried his hand at various literary activities: he published a book of poems, lectured in the United States and Canada on the new "English Renaissance in Art", and then returned to London where he worked prolifically as a journalist. Known for his biting wit, flamboyant dress and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the best-known personalities of his day.At the turn of the 1890s, he refined his ideas about the supremacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays, and incorporated themes of decadence, duplicity, and beauty into his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). The opportunity to construct aesthetic details precisely, and combine them with larger social themes, drew Wilde to write drama. He wrote Salome (1891) in French in Paris but it was refused a licence for England due to the absolute prohibition of Biblical subjects on the English stage. Unperturbed, Wilde produced four society comedies in the early 1890s, which made him one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London.

Abstract: The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde. First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious personæ to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways.

Abstract: Dorian Gray is having his picture painted by Basil Hallward, who is charmed by his looks. But when Sir Henry Wotton visits, and seduces Dorian into the worship of youthful beauty with an intoxicating speech, Dorian makes a wish he will live to regret: that all the marks of age will now be reflected in the portrait, rather than on Dorian's own face. The stage is now set for a masterful tale about appearance, reality, art, life, truth, fiction and the ultimate burden of conscience.

Abstract: Dorian Gray is young, arrogant, and devastatingly handsome. Confronted by his beauty in the form of a portrait, and struck by the terrible realization that he will age, Dorian wishes to retain his charms forever and finds his desire granted. He abandons himself to a life of hedonism, vice and murder, yet his face remains unmarked by his evil. But, hidden in his attic, the painting ages and corrupts, and one day Dorian must stand face to face with the man he has become.. (bol.de)
