Dorian Unbound - Transnational Decadence and the Wilde Archive

Informationen zum Autor Sean O’Toole (NEW YORK, NY) is an associate professor of English at the City University of New York, Baruch College. He is the author of Habit in the English Novel, 1850–1900 . Klappentext "This book examines the broad archive of texts that Oscar Wilde read from quite early in his literary career through to the release of Dorian Gray, making the case for a transnational network of literary forms that influenced Wilde's unique and hybrid prose. Arguing that prevailing scholarly discourse on Dorian's aesthetic and decadent contexts has unintentionally obscured an even richer array of cultural movements from which Wilde drew inspiration, O'Toole makes a significant case for a more dynamic reading of the novel"--
