Summary "A Peep Into the Past" by Max Beerbohm is a satirical essay written in the early 20th century. The book reflects on the life of Oscar Wilde, a prominent literary figure of the late Victorian era, and examines the memory of his past exploits and notoriety in a changing societal landscape. This work provides an interesting glimpse into Wilde's life post-fame, showcasing the complexities of his character and the passage of time. In the essay, Beerbohm presents a vivid portrayal of Wilde in his later years, living a quieter life with his family in Chelsea. Despite his reduced circumstances, Wilde remains devoted to his craft, working diligently at his writing while reminiscing about his past encounters with notable figures. The narrative blends humor and nostalgia, capturing Wilde's eccentricities and charm, along with his quirky habits. The essay serves both as a tribute to Wilde's enduring artistry and as a reflection on the ephemeral nature of fame, illustrated through Beerbohm’s sharp wit and affectionate tone.
