Cover von Oscar Wilde: A Critic in Pall Mall: Being Extracts from Reviews and Miscellanies (ePUB)

‚A Critic in Pall Mall: Being Extracts from Reviews and Miscellanies‘ is a collection of Oscar Wilde’s journalistic essays that showcase his wit, intelligence, and astute observations. The book is an abridgment of Wilde’s reviews, but still offers a substantial amount of his work, including essays on George Sand and William Morris, as well as his grand essays ‚A Chinese Sage‘ and ‚Walter Pater’s Appreciations‘. Wilde’s critical eye is razor-sharp, and his writing is a pleasure to read. He offers insights on literature, society, and life that are both entertaining and enlightening.
