Evidence: | 'The annotations in Wilde's copy of J.E.T. Rodgers's edition of [Aristotle's] "Ethics", which is inscribed "Oscar Wilde, Magdalen College, October 1877", illustrate his passionate opposition to [the Historicist] view. Interleaved with the Greek text are around 200 pages on which Wilde has written copious notes in English and Greek. In them he creates a bridge between the past and the present by comparing Aristotle to modern writers such as David Hume and Tennyson...' |
