Summary:In Britain at the end of the 19th century, new means of reproduction and distribution increased the availability and profitability of high culture, whether literary or visual. Attention turned to the writers and artists, whose works were now reaching a mass market. This Web site explores why the representations of Oscar Wilde (1854-2000) were crucial to launching and sustaining his career in the world of the arts and also to determining his unhappy fate. See why the meaning and importance of Wilde's image was just as significant in history as his works themselves.
