The Catholic Imagination of Oscar Wilde – Prof. Guiseppe Pezzini
Prof. Giuseppe Pezzini, an Oxford Latinist who studies classical roots of modern literature, reads Wilde through a Catholic imagination. He traces Wilde’s aesthetic quest, tension between beauty and suffering, the trials and prison that reshape his art, and the late turn toward faith and reconciliation. Short, vivid takes on Dorian Gray, fairy tales, De Profundis, and the wounded artist.
