Sobre este artículo
Barnes and Noble Books, 2002, 2002. Hardcover. Fine/Good. Octavo, hardcover, fine in lightly top edgeworn black and maroon pictorial dj with gold design. Very attractive book. Reprint. The play's lasting appeal arises from some of the most brilliant dialogue of the English stage and it is generally accepted as one of the two or three best modern comedies ever written. Wilde who gave the play the subtitle A Trivial Comedy for Serious People said that the first act is ingenious the second beautiful the third abominably clever. The plot turns on two cases of mistaken identity with both young heroes falsely believed to bear the name of Ernest and in danger of losing their lady loves if their true identities are revealed.
Sinopsis
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 .
