1919ref. 139580London: Methuen & Co. Ltd 1919. First edition of this selection of Wilde's literary criticism. Octavo original publisher's cloth. In near fine condition. Ownership inscription. Wilde’s “theme is not as is often supposed art’s divorce from life but its inescapable arraignment by experience. His creative works almost always end in unmasking. The hand that adjusts the green carnation suddenly shakes an admonitory finger. While the ultimate virtue in Wilde’s essays is in make-believe the denouement of his dramas and narratives is that masks have to go. We must acknowledge what we are. Wilde at least was keen to do so. Though he offered himself as the apostle of pleasure his created world contains much pain” Ellmann xvi. Wilde's A Critic in Pall Mall contains extracts from his critical works on Keats Shakespeare Balzac Aristotle early Christian art in Ireland Y.B. Years and William Morris among a wide variety of other subjects. Methuen & Co. Ltd hardcover
