Consider the themes that we discussed in class over the past week or two and the themes brought up in this interview: https://www.salon.com/2011/02/20/victorians_2/

Then write a response that identifies any connections you see between Swinburne and/or Rossetti on the one hand and Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest on the other. What similarities or differences do you see between these texts? What conversations are they participating in together? etc.
