by Oscar Wilde

A deliciously airily irresponsible comedy. Such is the "The Importance Of Being Earnest," the most personally characteristic expression of Wilde's art, and the last of the dramatic productions written under his own name. The dialogue has all the sparkle of bubbles from a gushing spring, and is brimful of quaint conceits and diverting paradoxes Biographical Summary to get to know the great character and life of Wilde.Oscar Wilde's Trajectory and his culmination with this play.On "The importance of Being Earnest"; reception of the play in its day and why it became a classic.House Decoration, With Observations upon Dress and Personal Ornaments witty Wilde's lecture to build our image of him and his stage.COMPLETE ORIGINAL PLAY.

Such a fun play! I dare say you'd be troubled to find someone who couldn't enjoy it, but in fairness I am partial to Wilde's writing and sense of humor.
