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 Publishing 410 0$aWriters' lives (Continuum (Firm)) 606 $aAuthors, Irish$y19th century$vBiography 606 $2Biography: literary 615 0$aAuthors, Irish 676 $a828/.809 700 $aRobbins$b Ruth$f1965-$0175930 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457229703321 996 $aOscar Wilde$92065582 997 $aUNINA
