Title: 3rd-rate moralizer mangles Wilde's corpse
Product review: "Formerly we used to canonise our heroes. The modern method is to vulgarise them. Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable."--Oscar Wilde, The Critic as ArtistFor this author, who knows nothing of the soul of Wilde's arguments, to dare to speak for him is as offensive and irresponsible as me sculpting in the name of Michelangelo. A bias proselytizer, his insipid interpretations of Wilde's philosophies, and 3rd-grade understanding of art, are completely wrong, set up like strawmen to be batted about by his "Jesus." Even worse: it's badly written.But don't take my word for it. Look at the sample pages, then read Wilde's "Critic as Artist" or "Decay of Lying" online, and draw your own conclusions.What a tragedy. That small men can play dress-up with great men's corpses adds a new horror to death. They are, as Wilde says, the mere body-snatchers of literature.
