Oscar Wilde

De Profundis (Annotated) Oscar Wilde

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its characteristics. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective. He finished reading the moved works of Oscar Wilde's last works, written after a fundamental experience in his life, which was the penalty of two years in prison in Reading prison. As a prologue to this recommendation, I will begin by saying that, once again, I have discovered the relevance of the fine print of History. Contrary to what many people probably think (I thought so), Oscar Wilde was not brought to court for something that suddenly someone discovered. In Victorian society everything was known. It was Lord Alfred Douglas (Wilde's lover), who convinced him to complain against his father (Douglas, the Marquis of Queensberry), for defamation.
