Synopsis
A Preface to Oscar Wilde provides a detailed study of the cultural, personal and political influences that shaped Wilde's writing. The study concentrates primarily on his fiction, critical dialogues and plays that were published between 1890 and 1895, and detailed accounts of Wilde's lesser known works such as his poetry, journalism and letters are also presented. The first section places his work in a variety of cultural contexts: Wilde's family life and his Irish inheritance are examined, the impact of his sexuality on his writing and reputation is considered, and a description is provided of how Wilde became a legendary figure in the arts. Major innovations and successes, such as The Picture of Dorian Gray, Salome and The Importance of Being Earnest are related to avant garde movements of their day such as aestheticism, decadence, and symbolism. Reference sections provide supporting material such as a Wilde chronology, a glossary of terms and a bibliography for further study. Anne Varty sets out in this study to bring to life the work of Wilde, and to make his writing accessible to readers who are unfamiliar with his achievements. In so doing, she confronts the ethical drive of his work, and demonstrates the coherent evolution of his work from the aestheticism of the early poetry, through the sophisticated handling of theatre, to the dark self-scrutiny of autobiography. The comprehensive and accessible approach makes this a useful reference work to all who are studying Oscar Wilde, both at A Level and undergraduate level. The content will also appeal to the general reader who is seeking to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of Wilde's work.

The seller advertised 'mild shelfwear' and that was accurate, considering the age of the Wizard's Handbook. The seller slashed the price on it from about $26.00 to $16.00 and took A little off the Pathfinder booklet, down to $13.00. So I'm happy overall with the deal.

There were a couple of small defects that were not mentioned in the description. Not enough to make me not want it, but enough to alert the seller. I don’t think there was any ill intent. The price was still fair for the received item, it just wasn’t exactly what I expected. He was very responsive and sympathetic, offering a couple of options to make it right. I’m happy with the outcome and I would give this seller another try.Player's Handbook Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (2nd Ed Fantasy Roleplaying) Cook, (#365549036586)

Before making the purchase, I contacted the seller to inquire about exactly which books/materials were included in this used game. I received a very quick response. When I received the package, I was delighted to see that some of the materials believed to be missing (an introductory rules folder and an adventure) were actually present. Fast shipping, and securely packaged for transport. A great price for this particular used game! I would buy from this seller again.Chill: Adventures into the Unknown, a Frightfully Fun Role Playing Game [BOX SET (#135515889891)
