Customer Reviews

well structured anthology

Having enjoyed some of Wilde's plays and some movie versions of his work, I looked forward to reading his words, and I was not disappointed: Wilde's wit is well known and is fully on display in this collection. What I particularly enjoyed was tracing the threads and development of ideas through both his high points and decline. Terry Eagleton is a good choice to give the introduction, and he too does not disappoint. I may not be as careful a reader as a previous reviewer as typographical errors were not obvious to me.
