Beschreibung

In "Intentions," Oscar Wilde presents a collection of essays that delve into aesthetics, ethics, and the role of the artist in society, exemplifying his characteristic wit and aphoristic brilliance. Written in a lush, engaging literary style, Wilde explores the idea of art for art's sake, arguing against the moralizing tendencies of his contemporaries. The essays provide a critical reflection on the interplay between beauty, truth, and morality, situated within the broader context of the late Victorian era's cultural clash between rigid moral standards and burgeoning artistic freedom. Oscar Wilde, a leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement, was profoundly influenced by his own experiences navigating the complexities of societal norms and artistic expression. His stand against conventional morality was both personal and philosophical, shaped by his education at Trinity College and his time in Paris, where he encountered diverse artistic movements. "Intentions" serves as a manifesto for his beliefs, revealing his commitment to individuality and the importance of aesthetic pursuits. This thought-provoking collection is essential reading for anyone interested in literary criticism, aesthetic philosophy, or the evolution of modern thought. Wilde's incisive essays challenge readers to reflect on the relationship between art and society, making it a timeless contribution to the discourse on artistic identity and purpose.

    In 1934, the Great Depression had destroyed the US economy, leaving residents poverty-stricken. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt urged President Roosevelt to take radical action to help those hit hardest. They set up government homesteads in rural areas across the country, an experiment in cooperative living where people could start over. To boost morale and encourage the homesteaders to find community in their own traditions, the administration brought in artists to lead group activities—including folk music.Working almost entirely (and purposely) under the radar, the music unit would collect more than 800 songs and operate for nearly two years, until they were shut down under fire from a conservative coalition in Congress that deemed the entire homestead enterprise dangerously "socialistic."Despite its early demise, the music unit proved that music can provide hope and a sense of belonging even in the darkest times. It also laid the groundwork for the folk revival that followed.A Chance To Harmonize reveals this untold story and will delight listeners with the revelation of a new and previously undiscovered chapter in American cultural history.
