The People vs Oscar Wilde: Aestheticism, Popular Culture, Evil

Pop Culture is the true inheritor of the art-for-art’s sake movement popularized by Oscar Wilde. But is the persecuted inventor of modern homosexuality on the side of justice minded college students who take blockbuster movies to task for racism, sexism and homo-antagonism? Or is he a dangerous elitist opponent, a brilliant philosopher who saw the evil at the heart of beauty, and said “Yes”? Join me for an hour lecture at the Rare Book Room at the Strand.
