Oscar Wilde Art and Morality

"Oscar Wilde Art and Morality-A Defence of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a classic Oscar Wilde literary study by Stuart Mason. On the whole, an artist in England gains something by being attacked. His individuality is intensified. He becomes more completely himself. Of course, the attacks are very gross, very impertinent, and very contemptible. But then no artist expects grace from the vulgar mind, or style from the suburban intellect.
