About this listen

This selection of essays by Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) demonstrate the varied power of his genius. Compiled from his lecture tours, newspaper articles, essays and epigrams, these writings show that beneath his trademark wit and love of paradox, Oscar Wilde was an original and remarkably modern writer.

This audiobook features an exclusive introduction written and narrated by Gyles Brandreth, the Honourary President of the Oscar Wilde Society, and a man with a near encyclopaedic knowledge of Oscar Wilde.
