Collected Works by Oscar Wilde

A sweeping anthology gathers the writer's plays, fiction, essays, poems and letters—ranging from sparkling social comedies and sharp epigrams to melancholic confessions and moral parables—that together examine beauty, duplicity, art versus life, and the hypocrisies of society. The collection alternates razor-sharp wit and theatrical dialogue with lyrical fairy tales, aphoristic essays and haunting, autobiographical reflections, balancing satire and sentiment while exposing the costs of pride, scandal and desire. Readers encounter dazzling style, moral puzzles, and a voice that is at once urbane, subversive and deeply human.
