|
Серия: "Oxford World's Classics" Authors in Context examines the work of major writers in relation to their own time and to the present day. Combining history with lively literary discussion, each volume provides comprehensive insight into texts in their context. Wit, dandy, literary anarchist, self-publicist, and homosexual martyr: Wilde achieved fame and notoriety at a time when mass culture and communication promoted the'new'in every area of British life -'New Women','New Hedonism','New Journalism','New Imperialism'. His plays, tales, and critical writings questioned traditional attitudes to religion, sexuality, women and the home, crime and punishment, and the freedom of the individual. This book examines the rich interplay between Wilde's society and his writings and shows the remarkable recontextualizing of Wilde and his work on stage, in film and the media in the century that has followed his death.

Leben und Werk
Sloan wurde in Lock Haven, einer kleinen Stadt am Westufer des Susquehanna River als Sohn von James Dixon Sloan und seiner Frau Henrietta (geb. Ireland) geboren. Sein Vater war Schreiner und Hobbykünstler, seine Mutter Lehrerin an der dortigen Mädchenschule. Auf der Central Hight School war er Mitschüler des späteren, bekannten Kunstsammlers Albert C. Barnes, dem Stifter der Barnes Foundation. Im Alter von 20 Jahren wurde er Illustrator bei der Tageszeitung The Philadelphia Inquirer. Abends belegte er Kurse an der Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Dort traf er 1892 seinen späteren Mentor Robert Henri, den Verfasser von The Art Spirit.
1901 heiratete er „Dolly” (Anna Maria) Wall). 1904 zog das Paar nach New York und bezog ein Dachatelier in Chelsea. Sloan begann, typische städtische Motive zu malen, zu zeichnen und zu radieren. Seit 1906 lehrte er an der New York School of Art, zu seinen Schüler gehörten George Wesley Bellows (1882–1925) und Edward Hopper (1882–1967). [1] Im Jahr 1913 war er Mitglied des Organisationskommites der Armory Show in New York und stellte zugleich dort zwei Gemälde und fünf Grafiken aus.
Sloans Stil ist stark beeinflusst durch europäische Künstler des ausgehenden 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts, so befasste er sich mit den Werken von Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso und Henri Matisse. Sloan ließ sich im New Yorker Viertel Greenwich Village nieder, wo er beispielsweise die Werke McSorley's Bar, Sixth Avenue Elevated at Third Street und Wake of the Ferry schuf. Die letzten Jahre verbrachte Sloan in Gloucester, Massachusetts und in Santa Fe, New Mexiko.
Sloan war Mitglied der Künstlergruppe The Eight; einige Mitglieder, darunter Sloan, begründeten in der Folge die New Yorker Künstlergemeinschaft Ashcan School. Einer seiner bekanntesten Schüler war Norman Raeben.
