Description
Oscar Wilde's Selected Plays: A Collection of Comedy and Provocation. This collection brings together four of Oscar Wilde's most famous plays, showcasing his unique blend of wit, satire, and social commentary. Written between 1892 and 1895, these drawing-room comedies fearlessly mocked the hypocrisy and snobbery of Victorian society, taking gleeful delight in appearing to trivialize its most sacred institutions. The plays included are Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband, and The Importance of Being Earnest. While The Importance of Being Earnest was a phenomenal success upon its premiere in 1895, it was not published until after Wilde's court case and subsequent incarceration. This collection also features the powerful Salome, originally written in French and banned by the British censor, demonstrating Wilde at his provocative and witty best.
