Synopsis

Oscar Wilde visited America in the year 1882. Interest in the aethetic School, of which he was already the acknowledged master, had sometime previously spread to the United States, and it is said that the production of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, Patience, in which he and his disciples were held up to ridicule, determined him to pay a visit to the States to give some lectures explaining what he meant by aestheticism, hoping thereby to interest, and possibly to instruct and elevate our transatlantic cousins.
