| Summary | "Oscar Wilde" by Leonard Cresswell Ingleby is a critical appreciation written during the early 20th century. The text delves into the complex life of Oscar Wilde, addressing both his literary genius and the controversies surrounding his personal life. Through a multi-faceted examination, the work attempts to separate Wilde's artistic contributions from his troubled existence, offering insights into the societal and critical reception of his works. The opening of this literary work presents an overview of Oscar Wilde's life and the shifting public perception of him as both an artist and an individual. The text introduces Wilde's early career, highlighting his initial success within the aesthetic movement, which was often marred by public ridicule and criticism of his flamboyant persona. The author notes that over time, appreciation for Wilde's work grew, particularly following his death, as the literary community began to rehabilitate his image, ultimately recognizing the deep-seated beauty in his writings despite his personal struggles and the scandals that would later overshadow his legacy.
