Oscar Wilde
OSCAR WILDE (1854-1900) nasceu em Dublin e estudou no Trinity College de Dublin, e no Magdalen College em Oxford. Além das suas diversas peças de teatro, publicou poesia e diversas obras de ficção, incluindo "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1891). "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" (1898) foi escrita após ter passado dois anos na prisão por comportamento indecente em resultado de um processo movido pelos pais do seu alegado amante. Wilde faleceu em 30 de Novembro de 1900 devido a uma infecção no ouvido segundo os últimos estudos, embora durante muito tempo se pensasse que fora devido á sifilis.

Oscar Wilde was at once a family man and a homosexual outsider, a socialite, socialist, and Irish nationalist. His contradictions inspired him to ponder the roles and masks donned in conventional society, and his acute and wry insights are wonderfully displayed in this collection of his essential plays. Known not only for his brilliant, epigrammatic language, but also for his sense of theatrical design, color, and staging, Wilde created an enduring body of finely crafted works, whose delights and ironies still speak to modern audiences. In addition to Lady Windermere's Fan, Salomé, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband, A Florentine Tragedy, and The Importance of Being Earnest, this edition contains an introduction, notes and commentaries, and an excised scene from The Importance of Being Earnest.
