The Importance of Being Earnest

eBook ( Sept. 13, 2014)
This edition includes 10 illustrations. In a tradition which has endured for thousands of years, Oscar Wilde is a stand-out among playwrights, celebrated for both his rejection of convention and timeless wit. The Importance of Being Earnest is generally regarded as his very best work, and it is his most popular and recognizable, a farcical comedy that, despite its satiric use of Victorian mores and values, still keeps its razor sharp edge over 100 years later. First performed in 1895, The Importance of Being Earnest was the last play Wilde ever produced, for shortly after its premiere the author was put on trial and imprisoned.
