Beschreibung

Oscar Wilde, Art and Morality: A Defence of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' delves into the intricate relationship between aestheticism and ethics in Wilde's seminal work. Through a collection of critical essays and scholarly analyses, this book explores the themes of beauty, morality, and the duality of human nature that permeate Wilde's novel. The contributions from various authors contextualize Wilde's exploration of art's role in society and the contentious moral implications that arise from the pursuit of pleasure, making it a significant discourse in Victorian literature and the broader context of literary criticism. The authors contributing to this volume draw upon diverse academic backgrounds, reflecting the multifaceted influences that shaped Wilde's philosophies. Wilde, a prominent figure in the Aesthetic Movement, faced considerable backlash for his views on art and morality, especially in relation to the public scandal surrounding his life. This collection highlights the ongoing relevance of Wilde's insights, revealing how his experiences and intellect contributed to a rich tapestry of thought that challenges the dichotomy of art for art's sake versus its moral responsibilities. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Wilde's thought and the societal impact of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray.' It invites scholars and enthusiasts alike to engage with the provocative questions of art's influence on morality, making it a crucial addition to the libraries of literary critics, students, and Wilde aficionados.

    Olivia Chadwick—a young mother and self-critical personal trainer—first met insurance magnate Garnet Morris at 6 am on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick's task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling,100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations—about his coachability as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles. 
    Through mutual hesitations, their seasons-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness—as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength. 
     In 17 Runs, co-authors Chadwick and Morris chart the course of their unique camaraderie around initial differences and toward mutual transformation. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that’s a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses and ability to love. 
    Full of entrepreneurial wisdom on overcoming limitations, 17 Runs is a self-development story like no other. By turns motivational, amusing and heart-breaking, it is a must-read for anyone who needs coaching on how to run toward a life they truly choose.
