Wilde's Early Writings
by Oscar Wilde

Wilde's Early Writings features a collection of Oscar Wilde's essays, reviews, and lectures from a lesser-known period of his career, following his successful lecture tour of America in 1882. During this time, Wilde contributed to various journals and served as the editor of The Woman's World, producing works that illuminate his life, thoughts, and the cultural landscape of his era.

As described on the back cover:

"This collection presents Wilde in his youthful phase, showcasing lectures given in America, book reviews, and essays on women's fashions. These pieces reflect Wilde's struggles and aspirations, revealing his quest for artistic expression and moral integrity. They are engaging reads for those quiet afternoons when the world seems uninviting."

John Wyse Jackson's collection revives many of these writings, some of which have been out of print for nearly a century, allowing readers to explore Wilde's literary contributions during this formative phase of his career.
