Oscar Wilde is not only a literary artist but also a literary critic in the Victorian age. As a critic, he carried through his aesthetic ideology of the critic as artist that he treated the critic activity as art creation. The Portrait of Mr. W. H. is one of Wilde’s critic work exclusively on Shakespeare’s sonnets. It is a piece of critic work as well as a piece of creative art in the form of novella, which well demonstrated Wilde’s critical ideology of the critic as artist. This present paper will try to analyze Wilde’s Shakespearean critic from his ideology on critic and art by taking the case of The Portrait of Mr. W. H.
