The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde

"I Have Nothing to Declare Except My Genius." Oscar Wilde was the ultimate dandy, a literary rebel who believed that life should imitate art. Behind the silk cravats and the sparkling dinner-party repartee was one of the most brilliant minds of the 19th century—a writer who could skew Victorian morality with a single sentence while exploring the darkest corners of the human soul. This comprehensive collection brings together his entire output, from his celebrated plays and provocative novel to his profound poetry and fairy tales. Inside this definitive collection, you will encounter: The Master of the Epigram: Experience the razor-sharp wit that redefined the "Comedy of Manners," where every line is a polished gem of irony and social observation. The Gothic and the Decadent: Explore the haunting side of Wilde's genius, where the pursuit of eternal youth and sensory pleasure leads to a chilling moral reckoning. The Subversive Dramatist: Witness the plays that scandalized and delighted London, using mistaken identities and "trivial" concerns to expose the hypocrisies of high society. The Depth of Suffering: Delve into his later, poignant works written from the depths of despair, offering a raw and moving meditation on faith, humanity, and forgiveness.
