Selected Prose of Oscar Wilde
Selected Prose of Oscar Wilde, published in 1914, is an anthology prepared by Robert Ross, Wilde's friend and literary executor, from the whole range of his prose. It moves from passages of criticism, on George Meredith, Browning, Dante, the influence of art on life and the poetry of archaeology, to the luminous scenes of Salomé and "The Young King," the prose poems "The Artist," "The Doer of Good," "The Disciple," "The Master," "The House of Judgment" and "The Teacher of Wisdom," and extracts from De Profundis and the letters written after his release from prison. The selection shows Wilde's range from epigram to grief. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
