This volume exceeds the shape and meaning of a critical study to turn into a drama of five different acts/moments in Wilde's life and work: his early performances in Dublin, London and Oxford; the 1882 American tour; his successful season of the first half of the 1890s, his prison years and finally his glorious resurrection in contemporary pop culture. Most importantly WILDE NOW approaches these moments through contemporary rewritings and performances of "Oscar Wilde" in the fields of cinema, music and literature by such artists as Al Pacino, Rupert Everett, Stephen Fry, Gyles Brandreth, David Hare, David Bowie, Morrissey, Nick Cave, Neil Tennant, Gavin Friday. These artists - through their awareness of the importance of being/playing Oscar in their specific worlds and cultural contexts - will also show us that Wilde can be conceived as a subversive, critical role one might successfully perform and appropriate, now more than ever." -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Chapter 1 - Oscar Wilde's Aesthetics of Masks and Early Performances: Dublin, Oxford, London -- Chapter 2 - Genius and Celebrity: Oscar Wilde in America -- Chapter 3 - Wilde, Consumerism and the Arts -- Chapter 4 - Performing De Profundis -- Chapter 5 - On the Wilde Side: Wilde in Contemporary Pop Culture -- Wilde Now: Adaptations, Rewritings, Tributes. 600 10 $a Wilde, Oscar, $d 1854-1900 $x Appreciation. 600 17 $a Wilde, Oscar, $d 1854-1900 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00033910 650 7 $a Art appreciation $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815447 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783031304262 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in music and literature 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012423.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B4F32E42E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
