Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish writer and poet. He became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Wilde's life continues to fascinate and he has been the subject of numerous biographies since his death. Concerned about the effect of moralising on art, he believed in its redemptive, developmental powers: "Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force." This collection, contains his complete works, in their original editions, plays (Vera or, The Nihilists, The Duchess of Padua, Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband, The Importance of Being Earnest), short stories (The Happy Prince and Other Tales, A House of Pomegranates, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories, The Canterville Ghost) poems, essays, aphorisms, and the novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray".
