Synopsis "the major works (in English)"

Oscar Wilde's dramatic private life has sometimes threatened to overshadow his great literary achievements. His talent was prodigious: the author of brilliant social comedies, fairy stories, critical dialogues, poems, and a novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. In addition to Dorian Gray, this volume represents all these genres, including such works as Lady Windermere's Fan and The Importance of Being Earnest, 'The Happy Prince', 'The Critic as Artist', and 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol'.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Oscar Wilde es considerado uno de los dramaturgos más destacados del Londres victoriano tardío. Además, fue una celebridad de la época debido a su gran y aguzado ingenio. Hoy en día, es recordado por sus epigramas, sus cuentos, sus obras de teatro, su única novela, El retrato de Dorian Gray, y la tragedia de su encarcelamiento, seguida de su muerte prematura.
