| Summary | "Reviews" by Oscar Wilde is a collection of critical essays and reviews written in the late 19th century, showcasing Wilde's thoughts on various literary works and theatrical productions of his time. The book covers a range of subjects including poetry, cookery, political philosophy, and theatrical performances, reflecting on both the merits and shortcomings of contemporary authors and their art. The opening portion begins with Robert Ross's dedication to Mrs. Carew, where he expresses gratitude for her support amid challenges surrounding Wilde's literary heritage. Following this, Ross provides an introduction that emphasizes the importance of Wilde's literary contributions, despite the mixed receptions he received during his lifetime. The subsequent reviews offer insights into individual works, such as critiques of cookery books, poetic explorations, and analyses of theatrical performances, all marked by Wilde's signature wit and incisive commentary. This introduction sets the stage for readers to appreciate Wilde's unique perspective on literature and art, as well as the cultural context of the time.
