An entirely new kind of biography, Built of Books explores the mind and personality of Oscar Wilde through his taste in books This intimate account of Oscar Wilde?s life and writings is richer, livelier, and more personal than any book available about the brilliant writer, revealing a man who built himself out of books. His library was his reality, the source of so much that was vital to his life. A reader first, his readerly encounters, out of all of life?s pursuits, are seen to be as significant as his most important relationships with friends, family, or lovers. Wilde?s library, which Thomas Wright spent twenty years reading, provides the intellectual (and emotional) climate at the core of this deeply engaging portrait. One of the book?s happiest surprises is the story of the author?s adventure reading Wilde?s library. Reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges?s fictional hero who enters Cervantes?s mind by saturating himself in the culture of sixteenth-century Spain, Wright employs Wilde as his own Virgilian guide to world literature. We come to understand how reading can be an extremely sensual experience, producing a physical as well as a spiritual delight This intimate account of Oscar Wilde’s life and writings is richer, livelier, and more personal than any book available about the brilliant writer, revealing a man who built himself out of books.

We come to understand how reading can be an extremely sensual experience, producing a physical as well as a spiritual delight. Entertaining and highly original, Oscar’s Books is animated by a real intellectual passion. It should be read by anyone interested in Wilde or in the art of literary biography.” "No other scholar of Wilde has succeeded so well in moving into Oscar’s head.” A fresh and delightful examination of the character of Oscar Wilde by looking at him through the prism of the books he read. Oscar Wilde is best known for his literary works, especially the Importance of Being Earnest, and, for his trouble with the law for his homosexual activities. In this book, we get to see how Wilde's life was shaped by books. The shaping started at home where his mother was a poet of high regard and his father was an accomplished surgeon and archeologist. This domestic makeup proved to be fruitful for Wilde as both parents exposed him to the classics, important contemporary works and, critically, Irish folk literature, which would come to heavily influence Wilde's work. Wilde was precocious and was not afraid to flaunt it. He took first place in exams in college and loved to engage in circles where literary themes and the arts were a focus. He was what was known as an aesthete or someone who valued the meaning that art gives to life more than the detailed descriptions of reality, which were found to deprive life of its transcendent meanings. Wilde was also very much into playing the roles for which he wanted to be perceived. The author refers to him as a "dandy", apparently someone who dresses, speaks and engages the world from an artistic perspective. Built of Books takes us through the various works and authors who influenced not only Wilde's literary output but also the way he actually lived his life. Author Wright contends that Wilde's affinity for younger men was engendered by the works of Plato and other early Greek authors whose culture idealized and encouraged relationships between older and younger men. There are other examples of books direct influence throughout: characters in Wilde's storied read books that influenced Wilde, for example. As with other works of this nature, the book is filled with references to both books and authors that any book lover is sure to hunt down: Walter Pater and J.A. Symonds, for example, are but two authors whose works I would now like to read. The one disappointment in this otherwise excellent book was the author's final chapter. In it he recounts his journey in putting the book together. His writing suddenly seems forced, almost as if he is trying to copy the eloquence and brilliance of his subject; the attempt fails, and rather annoyingly. This aside, the book provides a different perspective on a life that is otherwise known for other matter, but which was ultimately a life "built of books".

Stephen Crane (1871 - 1900) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Creative and prolific, he wrote striking works that became models of American "Naturalism" and Impressionism. Crane's Red Badge of Courage and Maggie a Girl of the Streets are American classics. ACTIVE SERVICE tells the story of a promising young editor of the Sunday supplement for a prominent New York paper, who falls deeply in love with the daughter of a disapproving and petty college prof. When the latter tries to abort the connection by taking his daughter to Greece, the passionate editor follows. Their romance then takes place against the backdrop of the Turkish-Greek war (where Crane had once been a war correspondent). The book has been praised for its "abundance of minute observation"; "tenderness and brilliance," and "sheer impudent vivacity." Very Good condition: Square and tight copy without internal markings.
