Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Complete Short Stories af Oscar Wilde
Wilde's short fiction includes such masterpieces as 'The Happy Prince', 'The Selfish Giant', 'Lord Arthur Savile's Crime' and 'The Canterville Ghost', as well as the daring narrative experiments of 'The Portrait of Mr. W. H. ' and 'Poems in Prose'. This edition shows how they continue to the enthral and challenge the reader. ''Wilde did not converse - he told tales. '' Oscar Wilde was already famous as a brilliant wit and raconteur when he first began to publish his short stories in the late 1880s. They have never lacked readers and admirers, George Orwell and W. B. Yeats among them. The stories give free rein to Wilde''s originality, literary skill, and sophistication. They include poignant fairy-tales such as ''The Happy Prince'' and ''The Selfish Giant'', and the extravagant comedy and social observation of ''Lord Arthur Savile''s Crime'' and ''The Canterville Ghost''. They also encompass the daring narrative experiments of ''The Portrait of Mr. W. H. '', Wilde''s fictional investigation into the identity of the dedicatee of Shakespeare''s sonnets, and the ''Poems in Prose'', based on the Gospel stories. This edition demonstrates the centrality of Wilde''s shorter fiction in his literary career, and his continuing development and experimentation with the short story format. Combining myth, romance, and irony, Wilde''s stories enthral and challenge the reader.
