Summary "Oscar Wilde, a Critical Study" by Arthur Ransome is a biographical critique written in the early 20th century. The book examines the life and works of the renowned writer Oscar Wilde, delving into the intricate interplay between his experiences and literary output. Ransome aims to provide a thorough understanding of Wilde's artistry, while also intertwining insights into his tumultuous life, which ultimately influenced his writings." The opening of the book sets a reflective tone, introducing Ransome's intention to diverge from conventional criticism, which often focuses solely on Wilde's personal tragedy and legal failings. Ransome expresses a desire to initially explore Wilde's works in isolation to better understand their essence, yet acknowledges that this approach is ultimately flawed. He articulates the necessity of examining the context of Wilde's life—his background, influences, and the literary landscape of his time—to achieve a more nuanced appreciation of his art. This introductory section establishes the framework for Ransome's subsequent analysis, emphasizing that Wilde's life was not just a backdrop but an integral component of his creative identity.
