Description

One of Wilde's first published pieces, 'The Rise of Historical Criticism' is an essay, written while he was a student at Oxford, during the 1870s.

In it, he dissects the notions of historical and literary criticism.

His belief that criticism is a form of revolt and, with an associated action, can engender revolution and promote democracy, has been the subject of debate between academics for years.

In addition, Wilde finds a platform on which to discuss the purpose of true Art.

Often funny and eternally fascinating, 'The Rise of Historical Criticism' is a crucial read for any fans of the acid-tongued author.-
