Summary[edit]

Description
English: Cover of the 1895 book edition of Oscar Wilde's essay The Soul of Man, "privately printed" in 50 copies at Chiswick Press, 30 May 1895, five days after Wilde's conviction for gross indecency. Compared to the first publication in The Fortnightly Review, February 1891, not only the original title The Soul of Man under Socialism has been truncated. The aphoristic pronouncement "a community is infinitely more brutalised by the habitual employment of punishment, than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime" in the 1891 edition (p. 301), is in 1895 no longer presented in italics, and the word “occasional” has been deleted. Cf. Gregory Mackie: Textual Dissidence: The Occasions of Wilde’s ‘The Soul of Man under Socialism’.
