Oscar Wilde Audiobook by Alex Omberg

About this audiobook

Oscar Wilde was more than a wit; he was a revolutionary who weaponized humor to dismantle Victorian morality. From the velvet salons of London to the cold stone of Reading Gaol, this audiobook traces the tragic arc of the man who championed "Art for Art's Sake." In this cultural analysis, you will examine: The Cult of Beauty: How Oxford and the Aesthetic Movement created the ultimate dandy. The Double Life: The Faustian pact and queer coding within The Picture of Dorian Gray. Wit as a Weapon: How The Importance of Being Earnest inverted social norms by treating the trivial with absolute seriousness. Censorship: The forbidden biblical revisionism of Salome. The Tragedy: The raw, heartbreaking confession of De Profundis written from prison. Witness the martyrdom of an artist who dared to live as his own masterpiece.
