About this book

Oscar Wilde in outline is a book by Charles Joseph Finger. The text says Wilde himself was a contradiction, and that the spirit of contradiction entering into his writings is everywhere apparent in the written page. The text says there was, in Wilde, a strong spirit of partizanship.

The text quotes a scene in which the studio was filled with the rich odor of roses, and Lord Henry Wotton, lying on a divan of Persian saddlebags and smoking innumerable cigarettes, could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey-colored blossoms of the laburnum. The text says that art, or poetry, dealing with such things as sky-scrapers, fire vomiting factories and machinery, as it does in the hands of Carl Sandburg, was unthinkable to Wilde as it would have been unthinkable to Ruskin.
