Oscar Wilde was a major celebrity in the late Victorian era. He was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and short story writer. His works are known for their caustic wit. Wilde spent two years in a hard labor prison after being convicted of gross indecency. After Wilde read the works of Peter Kropotkin he became an anarchist philosopher. First published in 1891, Intentions contains four critical essays: The Decay of Lying, Pen, Pencil and Poison, The Critic as Artist, and The Truth of Masks. These essays introduce Wilde's aesthetic philosophy and mark the beginning of a Modernist manifesto in literature and art.
