«La importancia de discutirlo todo: El crítico como artista (II)» is Oscar Wilde's essay, published by Rey Lear in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
This second part of The Critic as Artist argues that judging a work demands more effort than creating it and that intellectual leisure is a privilege of the few. Wilde attacks public opinion for giving strength to ignorance and criticises empty industriousness. Art must remain outside morality, and an idea without risk does not deserve to be called an idea.
Part of the Breviarios collection, number 30. Translation by Catalina Martínez Muñoz. First edition in May 2010.
For essay readers who enjoy Oscar Wilde's irony and the aesthetic debates of nineteenth-century English literature.
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
