Oscar Wilde in Vienna: Pleasing and Teasing the Audience de Sandra Mayer

Oscar Wilde in Vienna: Pleasing and Teasing the Audience: Internationale Forschungen zur Allgemeinen und Vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft, cartea 198

Autor Sandra Mayer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 iul 2018
Oscar Wilde in Vienna is the first book-length study in English of the reception of Oscar Wilde’s works in the German-speaking world. Charting the plays’ history on Viennese stages between 1903 and 2013, it casts a spotlight on the international reputation of one of the most popular English-language writers while contributing to Austrian cultural history in the long twentieth century.

Drawing on extensive archival material, the book examines the appropriation of Wilde's plays against the background of political crises and social transformations.It unravels the mechanisms of cultural transfer and canonisation within an environment positioned — like Wilde himself — at the crossroads of centre and periphery, tradition and modernity.

Recenzii

"This is not only a fascinating and lucid study suitable for those interested in Wilde’splays on the stage and in theatre history more generally, but is also ideal for those with aninterest in the narratives of appropriation of literature across times and cultures."
