First performed in 1895,
The Importance of Being Earnest is a play full of mix-ups, unexpected plot twists, mistaken identities, and extraordinary quickfire wit. It was Wilde's greatest work and represents the climax of his career. This collection also contains
Lady Windermere's Fan and A n Ideal Husband
, two brilliant comedies offering devastating social commentary on Victorian manners and morals.
In these three works, the wisdom, wit, and literary genius of the greatest conversationalist of his age are on full display. They have amused and entertained audiences and readers alike for over a century.
