Oscar Wilde and Nihilism
Av Colin Cavendish-Jones, 2026.Del av serien Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature.
Oscar Wilde and Nihilism examines Wilde’s major works in the context of nineteenth-century philosophical nihilism and the Victorian religious unsettlement. The book covers Wilde’s plays, the fairy tales, The Picture of Dorian Gray, the critical writings, and De Profundis to show how Wilde’s thinking about nihilism developed over the course of his career, profoundly influencing the tone and message of his work. Like Nietzsche, Wilde came to regard art as the only effective counterforce to the problem of nihilism, a uniquely consistent source of order and meaning in a godless universe. The book is intended for the general reader with an interest in nihilism, aesthetics, or Wilde, as well as for more specialist scholars. The aim is to provide the reader with the answers of an exceptionally brilliant and original intellect to the most compelling problem in philosophy: how to find meaning and purpose in life.
