summary: wilde was both a glittering wordsmith and a social outsider.

his drama emerges out of these two perhaps contradictory identities, combining epigrammatic brilliance and shrewd social observation.

includes lady windermere's fan, salome, a woman of no importance, an ideal husband, a florentine tragedy and the importance of being earnest, which appears in full with the “grigsby” scene which originally made up the fourth act.
