Oh, sounds brilliant! (Although I could never bring myself to forgive Oscar Wilde for "The Happy Prince and the Little Swallow. Even in spite of "De Profundis" and "The Importance of Being Earnest". Never.)

Who's the author?
*sigh* They probably don't have it in the uni library, do they? *hopeful look*

What has he done in "The Happy Prince and the Little Swallow" for you not to forgive him?

The editor is Christian Juranek. The full title is: "Die Erfindung des Schönen. Oscar Wilde und das England des 19. Jahrhunderts". It accompanied a special exhibition in Wernigerode about that topic. Nice pictures *g*
I don't think they have it in any uni library, I would've (should have) run across it during my research. They do have it in the public library, though, which is where I got it from. I'll tell you when I give it back, you can have a look then :)

Oops, the book is from the main uni library, not from the public one. *is getting confused amongst the book piles*
