Oscar Wilde was already one of the best known literary figures in Britain when he was persuaded
to turn his extraordinary talents to the theatre. This is the only fully annotated edition of
Wilde's major plays which spearheaded the dramatic renaissance of the 1890s and retain their
power today. [BOX TO GO ABOVE PLAYS] Under the General Editorship of Dr Michael Cordner of the
University of York the texts of these plays have been newly edited and are presented with
modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition there is a scholarly introduction and
detailed annotation.
