Importance Of Being Earnest

The Importance of Being Earnest is a glorious comedy of mistaken identity, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Manners and morality are also victims of Wildes sharp wit in Lady Windermeres Fan, A Woman of No Importance and An Ideal Hu sband, in which snobbery and hypocrisy are laid bare. In Salomé and A Florentine Tragedy, Wilde makes powerful use of historical settings to explore the complex relationship between sex and power. The range of these plays displays Wildes delight in artifice, masks and disguises, and reveal the pretensions of the social world in which he himself played such a dazzlingly and precarious part. Richard Allen Caves introduction and notes discuss the themes of the plays and Wildes innovative methods of staging. This edition includes the excised Gribsby scene from The Importance of Being Earnest.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu.
