«Ensayos y artículos» is a collection of essays and articles by Oscar Wilde, published by Edimat in paperback (287 pages, in Spanish).
With his characteristic irony, Wilde examines art, literature, music, theater and women's fashion, partly from his experience as a contributor to The Woman's World. He also dwells on Victorian society and the twilight of the 19th century. Includes essays such as «La decadencia de la mentira» or «El crítico artista», published in 1891 under the title Intentions.
It belongs to the Cultura Collection (no. 95) and features a translation by Elena Cortada de la Rosa and a prologue by Francesc Ll. Cardona.
Suitable for readers interested in Oscar Wilde, the literary essay and social criticism of the Victorian era.
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
