Amazon.com description: Product Description: (Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)
Introduction by Terry Eagleton
Oscar Wilde has been acknowledged as the wittiest writer in the English language. This collection proves that he was also one of the most versatile. Effortlessly achieved, each revealing a different aspect of his brilliance, all of the plays, prose writings, and poems gathered here support Wildeâs belief that entertainment provides the best kind of edification. The works gathered here include Wildeâs once-controversial and now classic novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, the rioutously (sic) comic plays âThe Importance of Being Earnestâ and âLady Windermereâs Fan,â and the famous poem he wrote after being released from prison, âThe Ballad of Reading Gaol.â This expanded new edition now includes the complete version of Wildeâs moving letter from prison, De Profundis, and his teasing parable about Shakespeare, The Portrait of Mr. W. H. Other notable included writings are the semi-comic mystery story âLord Arthurâs Savileâs Crimeâ and the essay The Soul of Man Under Socialism.
