This volume brings together the major plays of Oscar Wilde, a leading figure in late 19th-century English literature. The plays are celebrated for their sharp dialogue, epigrammatic style, and critique of societal norms, particularly those of the upper classes. Works such as 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and 'Lady Windermere's Fan' exemplify Wilde's mastery of comedy of manners, while 'Salome' showcases his foray into symbolist tragedy. The collection reflects Wilde's enduring influence on drama and his ability to blend humor with poignant observations on morality, identity, and hypocrisy. more
