While Oscar Wilde’s delightfully-witty comedies of manners receive the most fanfare from the general public and much of academia, Wilde’s most “serious” play— Salome —rightfully deserves an equal amount of attention. Written by emerging scholars, established scholars, and notable Wilde scholars at the top of the field, the far-ranging essays in this book—the first collection solely on Wilde’s Salome —provide new readings of the play, allowing us to better assess how and why Salome either fits or does not fit into Wilde’s oeuvre. Framed in a new light in this collection, this fuller understanding of Salome should potentially change the way we read both Salome and Wilde’s entire oeuvre.

Nicholas Frankel presents a revisionary account of Oscar Wilde's final years, spent in poverty and exile in Europe following his release from an English prison for the crime of gross indecency between men. Despite repeated setbacks and open hostility, Wilde--unapologetic and even defiant--attempted to rebuild himself as a man, and a man of letters.--

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) is now widely recognised not only as one of the most representative figures of the British fin de siècle, but as one of the most influential Anglophone authors of the nineteenth century. In Britain Wilde suffered a long period of comparative neglect following the scandal of his conviction for 'gross indecency' in 1895; and it is only recently that his works have been reassessed. But while Wilde was subjected to silence in Britain, he became a European phenomenon. His famous dandyism, his witticisms, paradoxes and provocations became the object of imitation and parody; h

Der brasilianische Architekt Oscar Niemeyer (1907-2012) gehört zu den Klassikern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Weltberühmt wurde er durch seine Bauten für Brasilia, das 1987 zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt wurde. 1988 er-hielt er den Pritzker-Preis. In seinen Gebäuden vereinigt er den Respekt für die jeweilige Örtlichkeit mit einem unverwechselbaren, fast barocken Gestaltungsdrang. Für die zweite aktualisierte Auflage dieser Publikation wurden Vorwort, Biographie und Werkverzeichnis ak-tualisiert. Daneben werden in Einzelbeiträgen von renommierten Autoren wichtige und aktuelle Aspekte des Werks von Niemeyer analysiert, die nach wie vor Gültigkeit haben. Themen sind zum Beispiel die Einordnung seines Schaffens in die moderne Architekturgeschichte Brasiliens, sein Beitrag als Stadtplaner, die Einbezie-hung der Landschaft in seinem OEuvre und sein Einfluss auf die Architektur in Deutschland. Niemeyer, der bis zu seinem Tod über eine enorme Schaffenskraft verfügte, zählte zu den produktivsten Bau-meistern überhaupt und konzipierte insgesamt über 600 Bauten, die realisiert wurden oder noch(?) im Bau be-findlich sind. Er gilt als "letzter Gigant der architektonischen Moderne." (Süddeutsche Zeitung) The Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer (1907-2012) is a twentieth century classic. He became world renowned for planning and buildingBrasilia, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987. In 1988 he was awarded the Pritzker Prize. His buildings are deeply respectful of the site and are characterized by an unmistakable, almost Baroque design impulse. This second and revised edition of "Oscar Niemeyer: A Legend of Modernity" has a new preface and an updated biography and list of works. It contains essays that analyze the important and current aspects of Niemeyer's work, as well as texts by Niemeyer himself. Topics include the place of Niemeyer's work in modern Brazilian architecture, his work as urban planner, the aspect of landscape in his practice, and his influence on architecture in Germany. Niemeyer, who was highly prolific up until his death, is one of the most productive architects in history with over 600 buildings to his name. He was considered the "last giant of modern architecture." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

Why was Paris so popular as a place of both innovation and exile in the late nineteenth century? Using French, English and American sources, this first volume of a trilogy provides a possible answer with a detailed exploration of both the city and its communities, who, forming a varied cast of colourful characters from duchesses to telephonists, artists to beggars, and dancers to diplomats, crowd the stage. Through the throng moves Oscar Wilde as the connecting thread: Wilde exploratory, Wilde triumphant, Wilde ruined. This use of Wilde as a central figure provides both a cultural history of P
