Omschrijving

Essays on Joseph Conrad and Oscar Wilde is a collection of critical essays written by John Cowper Powys. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Joseph Conrad and the second part on Oscar Wilde. In the first part, Powys explores Conrad's literary style and themes in his novels such as Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim. He also discusses Conrad's life and his experiences as a sailor, which influenced his writing. Powys argues that Conrad's works reflect his belief in the essential darkness of human nature and the struggle for self-discovery.In the second part, Powys examines Wilde's plays, including The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Windermere's Fan. He discusses Wilde's use of wit and satire to criticize Victorian society and its values. Powys also explores Wilde's personal life and the scandal that led to his imprisonment.Overall, Essays on Joseph Conrad and Oscar Wilde provides a comprehensive analysis of the works of two of the most prominent writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Powys's essays offer insights into the literary techniques and themes of Conrad and Wilde, as well as their personal lives and the historical context in which they wrote.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
