Abstract

The 19th Century in Europe, and especially in England, is marked by the appearances of new artistic movements. aestheticism is one the most important because it embodies a real change in the mentality and in art, considered as self sufficient. Immanuel Kant is one of the pioneers of it, and certainly the most important. But aestheticism is most of all represented by the great Irish writer: oscar wilde.
