作者簡介
Born in Ireland,
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was educated in Dublin & Oxford and went on to become the leading and most prominent exponent of flamboyant aestheticism. As well as his many plays, he wrote one novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), and published several volumes of poetry and criticism. He was imprisoned in 1895 for homosexual offences and after his release he died in exile in Paris. Richard Cave has edited a selection of Yeats' plays for Penguin Classics.
奧斯卡·王爾德(Oscar Wilde),又譯奧斯卡·懷爾德,全名奧斯卡·芬葛·歐佛雷泰·威爾斯·王爾德(Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde,1854年10月16日—1900年11月30日)英國唯美主義藝術運動的倡導者,英國著名的作傢、詩人、戲劇傢、藝術傢、童話傢。《典雅》雜誌將他和安徒生相提並論。
王爾德生於愛爾蘭都柏林的一個傢世卓越的傢庭,是傢中的次子。他的父親威廉姆·懷爾德爵士是一個外科醫生,他的母親是一位詩人與作傢。
王爾德自幼便顯示很高的天賦,他精通法語、德語和古典文學。
王爾德自都柏林聖三一學院(Trinity College)畢業後,獲得奬學金,於1874年進入牛津大學莫德林學院(Magdalen College)學習。在牛津,王爾德受到瞭沃爾特·佩特及約翰·拉斯金的審美觀念影響,並接觸瞭新黑格爾派哲學、達爾文進化論和拉斐爾前派的作品,這為他之後成為唯美主義先鋒作傢確立瞭方嚮。
精彩書評
Grade 10 Up-"The Whole Story" format provides illustrations and annotations to the classic text. Ross's lively and sophisticated cartoons add interest, and historical information helps readers place the novel in proper context and gives insight into its characters. The problem with this attractive, glossy layout, however, is that the text and the quotes pulled from it are not always on the same page. Further, some illustrations and notations visually cut into the narrative and may distract readers. For example, a drawing appears on the first page along with the passage, "In the centre of the room, clamped to an upright easel, stood the full-length portrait of a young man of extraordinary personal beauty," but that quote does not appear until the second page of the story. Useful as a supplement to the original novel, but not a replacement for it.
