Artikelnummer ‎ 10053855‎ 

The five plays originally published in one volume under the title "Plays", Penguin, 1954. Lady Windermere's fan -- A woman of no importance -- An ideal husband -- The importance of being earnest -- Salomé. 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. This book 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, A Florentine Tragedy and The Importance of Being Earnest , which appears in full with the 'Grigsby' scene which originally made up the fourth act.
