Description: Oscar Wilde's complete dramatic works are brought together in this volume now re-issued: his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest ('The first Act is ingenious, the second beautiful, the third abominably clever!' -- his own comment), printed here in its usual three-act form with an appendix containing the best material from the original four-act version; Lady Windermere's Fan, his first great success ('I am told that Royalty is turned away nightly'), A Woman of No Importance and An Ideal Husband, ('Pray do not take out a single word' -- the Prince of Wales), as well as his once-banned Salome and several less well-known plays, The Duchess of Padua, Vera, or The Nihilists, A Florentine Tragedy and La Sainte Courtisane.
