Though the drama of Oscar Wilde's life has for many years obscured the artistry of his work, recent critical and biographical studies have generated renewed interest in his writings and created a demand for a new, up-to-date scholarly anthology. This fully annotated volume, the latest in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series, is the first comprehensive edition of Wilde to provide the information necessary to appreciate the wealth of knowledge and allusion upon which his writing stands. In addition to his most famous works--The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lady Windermere's Fan, The Importance of Being Earnest, The Critic as Artist, and The Ballad of Reading Gaol--this edition includes a wealth of other fiction, drama, critical dialogues, and poems. Like the other Oxford Authors titles, this edition includes a critical introduction, a chronology, and suggestions for further reading.

Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.
