This is a truly excellent lecture series on the subject of Oscar Wilde, given by an engaging and enthusiastic lecturer. To be sure, there are a few audio issues, especially in the 4th episode, but that is always a risk of recording anything live. 

Regardless of these few issues, the content of this series is nothing short of brilliant, with vital insights into the character of Wilde, his politics, and most importantly his works. This series is a necessity for anyone seeking to understand Oscar Wilde, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Going Wilde

This is an excellent introdution to Wilde, and Eltis is an extremely prepared and enthusiastic speaker. Unfortunately, the sound quality in the fourth episode renders it unlistenable. Ironically, this was the episode on Wilde and sexuality that was being censored by this annoying scrape-y/static-y noise. Maybe he&#39;s just tired of the subject and had to intervene from beyond.

Excellent except for sound quality in some episodes
