Description - The Wilde Years by Tomoko Sato
This study of Oscar Wilde presents him as the central, catalytic figure who linked together the artistic cities of London and Paris in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
Wilde's many talents are discussed, looking at the contribution he made to the artistic and cultural movements of his age. The text also covers the other aspects of Wilde's work for which he was less well known, including his work as an art critic, journalist and progressive political thinker.
This book was an accompaniment to an exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery which commemorated the centenary of Wilde's death.
