Resist Everything Except Temptation

By Kristian Williams & Alan Moore
Resist Everything Except Temptation by Kristian Williams & Alan Moore digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

  • Foreword by graphic novelist, Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Watchmen)
  • Will be of interest to LGBTQ readers. It's time to revive Wilde as a queer icon.
  • At present, there are no comparable books in print. Not since George Woodcock's 1950 The Paradox of Oscar Wilde has there been a comprehensive, book-length study of the subject. Woodcock's study really only represents a start on the discussion of Wilde's anarchism. 
  • Writers investigating Wilde's politics are typically experts on Wilde but novices to anarchism. This book comes at the subject from the other direction, and thus is well positioned to correct mistakes and misconceptions that inevitably creep into the discussion.
  • Resuscitating Wilde’s political views will serve as an important intervention in ongoing debates within political theory—social versus lifestyle activism, identity versus class politics, individualism versus collectivism, left versus post-left.
