Ruth Robbins introduces Wilde through a focus on his manipulations of genre and sets Wilde's life and work in its literary and cultural context."--Bloomsbury PublishingWriters' lives (Continuum (Firm))Authors, Irish19th centuryBiographyBiography: literaryAuthors, Irish828/.809Robbins Ruth1965-175930UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910781683503321Oscar Wilde3863833UNINA
