    The Selfish Giant and Other Tales

    Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854. He went to Trinity College, Dublin and then to Magdalen College, Oxford, where he began to propagandize the new Aesthetic (or 'Art for Art's Sake') Movement.Despite winning a first and the Newdigate Prize for Poetry, Wilde failed to obtain an Oxford scholarship, and was forced to earn a living by lecturing and writing for periodicals. After his marriage to Constance Lloyd in 1884, he tried to establish himself as a writer, but with little initial success. However, his three volumes of short fiction, The Happy Prince (1888), Lord Arthur Savile's Crime (1891) and A House of Pomegranates (1891), together with his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), gradually won him a reputation as a modern writer with an original talent, a reputation confirmed and enhanced by the phenomenal success of his Society Comedies - Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest, all performed on the West End stage between 1892 and 1895.Success, however, was short-lived. In 1891 Wilde had met and fallen extravagantly in love with Lord Alfred Douglas. In 1895, when his success as a dramatist was at its height, Wilde brought an unsuccessful libel action against Douglas's father, the Marquess of Queensberry. Wilde lost the case and two trials later was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for acts of gross indecency. As a result of this experience he wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol. He was released from prison in 1897 and went into an immediate self-imposed exile on the Continent. He died in Paris in ignominy in 1900.

  5. Het portret van Dorian Gray
    1. Oscar Wilde

    Het portret van Dorian Gray

    Dorian Gray is een rijke, beeldschone jongeman in Londen, die zijn tijd spendeert aan decadente diners en theatervoorstellingen. Als de estheet het portret ziet dat een vriend van hem heeft gemaakt, ontstaat het onnatuurlijke verlangen altijd zo knap te blijven, terwijl het schilderij in zijn plaats veroudert. Terwijl Gray door het leven gaat als het toonbeeld van serene schoonheid, verschijnen op het veilig weggestopte portret mysterieuze tekens van aftakeling: de jonge god verandert langzaam in een duivel. ‘Het portret van Dorian Gray’ was bij verschijnen direct een ‘succès de scandale’ en werd gezien als immoreel en verderfelijk.

    Laserbundel

    Poëzie en lasers hebben op het eerste gezicht weinig gemeen. Maar taal kan alles verbinden. De rode draad in deze bundel is misschien wel: zichtbaarheid. Gezien willen worden zonder last te zijn. Ook het woord ‘laser’ lijkt dat te verlangen – een keer voluit geschreven te worden als Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
