Wilde’s chief aims were to entertain, to jolt complacency and, doubtless, to be remembered. He succeeded in all three, but it is high time he was remembered for the right reasons. Now that the sensation and notoriety belong to past history, we may perhaps hope that the works will come into their own and be judged on their own merits. And for a final comment on the artist and the times in which he lived one can do no better than apply to Wilde himself. ‘The longer one studies life and literature the more strongly one feels that behind everything that is wonderful stands the individual, and that it is not the moment that makes the man but the man who creates the age.’","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56479815434619,"sku":"10928554","price":9.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_532176_jpg.jpg?v=1790680218","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/the-works-of-oscar-wilde-spring-books-1977","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
