Author: GUY, Josephine M. / SMALL, Ian
Title: Oscar Wilde's Profession. Writing and the Culture Industry in the Late Nineteenth Century
Description: Oxford University Press 2000, x,314pp, Cloth. With dustjacket. In very good condition. A materialist account of Wildes writing career, based on publishing contracts and other documentation as well as detailed evidence of how he composed, this book argues that Wilde was not driven by an oppositional politics, nor was he an aesthetic purist. Rather, he was thoroughly immersed in the contemporary commodification of culture in which books became product. This study surveys his writing practices across the whole of the oeuvre, and radically reinterprets the significance of his revision and plagiarism.
