This podcast collects Oscar Wilde's book reviews, written before his major works made him famous. The reviews show his wit and prophetic insights, though some are biased by personal prejudices. The introduction by Robert Ross argues that Wilde's literary reputation has endured despite these early writings. The episodes are drawn from a volume that Wilde's admirers might have preferred to forget, but which offers unusual interest.
