This ebook includes a biographical introduction, a short critical analysis of
Oscar Wilde and a brief introduction to this work.
Published posthumously by Robert Ross, Essays and Lectures is a compendium of Wilde's longer pieces dealing with literature and aesthetics. It includes The Rise of Historical Criticism, the extended essay he submitted for the Oxford University Chancellor's Prize and also Poems in Prose, which, as described by Robert Ross in the Preface, are a transcription of after Dinner talks that Wilde gave to his friends. The remainder edited versions of Wilde's lectures, or those that Ross could discover in manuscript form.
Essays and Lectures shows a mix of Wilde. We have the eager scholar seeking entry into the Oxford Uniion, later the aesthetic lecturer talking ex cathedra to the many who packed the auditoriums, and lastly the social bon viveur holding court to enthralled dinner guests.

One .of the nice things about being a Kindle owner is the ability to add unlikely pieces by well-known writers for little or no money. In this case we are offered Essays and Lectures by Oscar Wilde. Listing, as of review date: free. If you're an Oscar Wilde fan this is a great way to take possession of items not usually thought about when building an Oscar Wilde collection.There are seven selections in this book amounting to about 200 pages of reading. Oscar Wilde topics include the history of historical criticism, the pre-Raphaelite movement, several different perspectives on art especially decorative art, a curious piece on the then new institution of artist's models and finally three or four so-called "poems in prose". If you are used to the witticisms and clever wordplay of Lady Windermere's Fan or The Importance of Being Earnest, you may find these readings rather dry. For me the poems in prose were somewhat fun. I found it best to not read the essays to intensely.
This is not a very long book. Its proper audience is fans of Oscar Wilde willing to see him in a different light. His essay and lectures style is very much the essay and lectures style of his time. It is not so much about documenting opinion as, dramatizing it. Oscar Wilde is an intelligent and thoughtful man but given to too many generalities and universal statements. "All art..." or "all artists..." and so forth without any thought that there might be another opinion or another possibility.
Technical note: This e editin includes about 22 footnotes. The system for clicking on the number to read the footnote was not operational.
Bottom line Oscar Wilde Essays and Lectures is worth what I paid. Oscar Wilde fans may appreciate Oscar Wilde the lecturer, and would be essayists can benefit from studying intelligent period writing.

Essays and Lectures Annotated edition by Oscar Wilde Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I was surprised to see this was an old library book. Sadly two of the pages were torn and there was permanent marker on the inside cover and title page. Thankfully the recipient did not mind these.
Nice ones!
The lectures and writings in this book offer many insights about life and art. Like William Morris, Wilde is dedicated to the notion that all people need beauty in their lives, whether it be by creation or possession of things that display the joy and care of the work itself.
More interesting ideas from Mr. Wilde.
