i just think wilde's essays are so interesting to read. something that one should keep in mind while reading, though, is what kind of person wilde is. you can't ever know how much of what he wrote here he actually believed, politically speaking. he very much could've just been rambling a bit. love that about him! i quite like reading about his views on individualism, socialism, anarchism, art, and more. this was super intriguing to me, but i don't think it's for everyone just because wilde's tone isn't for everyone.
