The first third covers the Irish myths that Wilde imbibed at 1 Merrion Square, as well as his early encounters with poetry (Whitman, Swinburne, Wordsworth, Keats) and precocious love for French novels. Then moves to his time at Oxford, looking at both formal classical scholarship (Mahaffy et al.) as well as informal aesthetic readings (Plato’s Symposium sticks out, as well as contemporaneous works by his tutors).

I have to read this for grad class and the only part that is getting me through this boring ass book is the ascertation (with proper sources) that Oscar Wilde munched and crunched on little corners of book pages.
