If you're looking to learn a little more about Wilde the man, as apposed to Wilde the persona, 'Miscellanies' is the place to start. A collection of writings, lectures, letters, and reviews, it shows the more vulnerable side of the writer. His thoughts on everything from art and fashion to Americans and poetry are peppered with his trademark, acidic wit, yet reveal a more thoughtful aspect than was shown to the public. A fascinating read for those who want to get to know Wilde that much better.
