Description
The Annotated Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde is a complex and witty play that defies simple interpretation. This annotated edition provides running commentary to enhance understanding and enjoyment, while also illuminating literary, biographical, and historical allusions. Wilde's greatest play is full of subtexts, disguises, concealments, and double entendres, making it a rich subject for analysis. The Annotated Importance of Being Earnest reveals that many of the play's wittiest lines were incorporated nearly four years after its first production, when Wilde was living in Paris as an exiled author. This facing-page edition is designed with students, teachers, actors, and dramaturges in mind, featuring numerous illustrations to accompany the annotated text.
