Book Synopsis



Dos obras imprescindibles del teatro inglés del siglo XIX.


Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) es para muchos la figura emblemática del dandi inglés. Pero esa imagen del artista del esteticismo extremado también se vincula a la figura perseguida por la doble moral dominante de su tiempo. Durante décadas después de su muerte, Wilde fue objeto de controversia y, a pesar de la condena judicial y moral a la que fue sometido, el interés del público por su obra no decreció.


Su producción abarca casi todos los géneros literarios (novela, cuento, ensayo, poesía), pero es en sus obras teatrales donde despliega todo su talento artístico, como lo demuestran La importancia de llamarse Ernesto y El abanico de Lady Windermere. Wilde se sirvió en ellas de las convenciones y temas del teatro de su tiempo, especialmente del melodrama y de la comedia de costumbres del teatro clásico inglés, pero, gracias al ingenio verbal que le caracterizaba y a su singular capacidad para reírse de la realidad circundante sin causar la reacción negativa del público, logró trascender sus modelos y dignificar un género que se hallaba en decadencia artística.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Two essential works of 19th-century English theater.


Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is widely regarded as the emblematic figure of the English dandy. Yet this image of an artist devoted to extreme aestheticism is also tied to a man persecuted by the dominant double standards of his time. For decades after his death, Wilde remained a controversial figure, and despite the moral and legal condemnation he faced, public interest in his work never waned.


His literary output spans nearly every genre (novel, short story, essay, poetry), but it's in his plays that Wilde's artistic brilliance truly shines, as seen in The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Windermere's Fan. Drawing on the conventions and themes of his era's theater--especially melodrama and the comedy of manners from classic English drama--Wilde used his signature wit and unique ability to satirize reality without alienating audiences to elevate and revitalize a genre in artistic decline.
