Oscar Wilde took London by storm with his first comedy, Lady Windermere's Fan. The combination of dazzling wit, subtle social criticism, sumptuous settings and the theme of a guilty secret proved a winner, both here and in his next three plays, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband, and his undisputed masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest. This volume includes all Wilde's plays from his early tragedy Vera to the controversial Salome and the little known fragments, La Sainte Courtisane and A Florentine Tragedy. The edition affords a rare chance to see Wilde's best known work in the context of his entire dramatic output, and to appreciate plays which have hitherto received scant critical attention. Wilde's plays have never failed to delight audiences and are a lasting testimony to their author's supreme wit and theatrical genius.

Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life, indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society.

This title comes with an introduction and notes by Anne Varty, Royal Holloway, University of London. De Profundis is Wilde's eloquent and bitter reproach from prison to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. He contrasts his behaviour with that of his close friend Robert Ross who became Wilde's literary executor. The Ballad of Reading Gaol is a deeply moving and characteristically generous poem on the horrors of prison life, which was published anonymously in 1898. This collection also includes the essay The Soul of Man under Socialism and two of his Platonic dialogues, The Decay of Lying and The Critic as Artist.

Dorian Gray is a popular and balanced young man, until he cannot resist corruption from the power of his own beauty. As he falls into the lure of a selfish world of luxury, his beauty remains unaltered. But in an attic, his portrait, painted by Basil Hallward, illustrates the damning effects of his unquenchable vanity. A master of language and turn of phrase — an Oscar Wilde classic.

A light-hearted satire of the absurdity of all forms and conventions, this comic masterpiece features an unforgettable cast of characters who, as critic Max Beerbohm observed, «speak a kind of beautiful nonsense — the language of high comedy, twisted into fantasy». This collection also includes Oscar Wilde' s most famous comedies, «Lady Windermere' s Fan», «A Woman of No Importance», and «An Ideal Husband», as well as his poetic tragedy «Salomé « — all written between 1891 and 1895, Wilde' s most creative period. George Bernard Shaw said of Oscar Wilde that he is «our most thorough playwright. He plays with everything: with wit, with philosophy, with drama, with actors and audience, with the whole theater».

The Canterville Ghost and Other Stories

Renowned for his poetry, plays, essays, and conversational skills, Oscar Wilde also wrote delightfully entertaining works of short fiction. This volume contains four of his finest. Most celebrated is The Canterville Ghost, a delightfully comical tale centering around the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, who for some 300 years has terrorized the residents and employees of Canterville Chase. When the house is bought by the Otises, an American family that refuses to believe in such supernatural nonsense, hilarious results ensue. Also included here are The Sphinx Without a Secret, about an enigmatic woman who carries the key to a mystery with her to the grave; The Model Millionaire, the charming story of a delightful, ineffectual young man with a perfect profile and no profession; as well as Lord Arthur Savile's Crime. Rounding out the volume are Wilde's lyrical Poems in Prose, including The Artist, The Doer of Good, The Disciple, and 3 more. These diverting stories offer the wit, whimsy, and imaginative gusto of one of the 19th century's most scintillating masters of the English language.
