The Oscholars recently ran a special issue focusing on Oscar Wilde’s essay “The Soul of Man Under Socialism.” In it, I have an article examining two lines of influence on Wilde: Henrik Ibsen and George Bernard Shaw, on the one hand; Williams Morris and Walter Crane, on the other.
I have also written a short review of Oscar Wilde in America: The Interviews. It’s in the August 2010 issue of OutSmart.
More of my work on Wilde should reach print in the next couple months, including an essay on his aphorisms.
