Oscar Wilde’s ‘Intentions’ is a collection of essays that explore the relationship between art and life, touching upon the importance of aestheticism and the role of the artist in society. Written in Wilde’s signature witty and satirical style, the book challenges traditional Victorian values and promotes the idea of art for art’s sake. Wilde’s use of paradoxes and aphorisms adds depth to the text, making it a thought-provoking and engaging read within the context of the Aesthetic Movement of the late 19th century. ‘Intentions’ is a landmark work that continues to influence discussions on art, beauty, and creativity to this day. Oscar Wilde’s background as a playwright, poet, and prominent figure in the Victorian literary scene undoubtedly informs the content of ‘Intentions.’ His personal experiences and struggles with societal expectations likely fueled his exploration of artistic expression and individuality in the essays included in this collection. I highly recommend ‘Intentions’ to readers interested in the intersection of art and society, as well as fans of Wilde’s unique literary voice and perspective.
