The Portrait of Mr. W.H.

Oscar Wilde

3.58/5 (1283 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

'The Portrait of Mr W. H. is part literary criticism, part fiction; its wit and energy derive from Wilde's insight that the more impassioned the critic, the less easy it becomes to separate these two kinds of writing...Wilde's Portrait remains a fresh and moving account of the enduring power of the Sonnets to beguile their readers.' --Times Literary Supplement

'What lifts this above the kind of delightful mind-game that Borges was to do so well is not just the way that we are three-quarters prepared to accept Wilde's thesis - although that's quite a remarkable achievement. It's also that Wilde made the world believe that there really was something privately special about art.' --The Guardian --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
