| Presents a selection of fiction, drama, and prose by the controversial late nineteenth century literary figure...Flamboyant and controversial, Oscar Wilde was a dazzling personality, a master of wit, and a dramatic genius whose sparkling comedies contain some of the most brilliant dialogue ever written for the English stage. Here in one volume are his immensely popular novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray; his last literary work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol, a product of his own prison experience; and four complete plays: Lady Windermere's Fan, his first dramatic success, An Ideal Husband, which pokes fun at conventional morality, The Importance of Being Earnest, his finest comedy, and Salome, a portrait of uncontrollable love originally written in French and faithfully translated by Richard Ellmann.
