Charles's Reviews > The Wit & Wisdom of Oscar Wilde: A Treasury of Quotations, Anecdotes, and Observations

Oscar Wilde was an incredibly witty individual and this is a great collection of his sayings and witticisms. I don't know if it really gives us a great view of his character. Quite often he contradicts himself in these sayings and it's clear that he was striving for an effect. Many of the sayings probably can't be completely understood outside of the context in which he spoke them. One theme that runs through the collection is Wilde's stated service to "style" in everything he did.
