| Description: | Select Guide Rating A beautiful collector's edition of five of Oscar Wilde's classic plays <p>The four great comedies of Oscar Wilde, <i>Lady Windermere's Fan</i>, <i>A Woman of No Importance</i>, <i>An Ideal Husband</i> and <i>The Importance of Being Earnest</i>, were all written at the height of the controversial Irish author's powers in his last, doomed decade, the 1890s. They remain among the most-loved, and most-quoted, of all drama in the English language. Along with <i>Salome</i>, his darkly decadent dramatization of the Bible story, these immortal plays continue to pack theatres, and have been adapted for every kind of media. <br><br>This Macmillan Collector's Library edition of<i> The Importance of Being Earnest & Other Plays</i> echoes the book form in which Wilde originally insisted his plays were published, and includes illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley and an afterword by Ned Halley.<br><br>Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.</p> |
