From criticism, essays, reviews, to novels, poetry, short stories, plays, and even children?s fiction, The witty and versatile Oscar Wilde wrote a lot. Amongst all these are two of his masterstrokes, works that earned him laurels and established his fame as a writer. This beautiful leather-bound edition, with gilded edges and beautiful endpapers, holds these critically acclaimed pieces?the importance of Being earnest, a play that has been revived many times and adapted for radio, television, film, operas, musicals, and the picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde?s only novel that became his most-read and well-known work.
