About the Book
The social comedies, Lady Windermeres Fan, A Woman of No Importance, and An Ideal Husband offer a moving as well as witty dissection of society and its morals, with a sharp focus on sexual politics. By contrast, the experimental symbolist Salomé, written originally in French and illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley, was banned for public performance by the English censor. His final dramatic triumph was his trivial comedy for serious people, The Importance of Being Earnestprobably the greatest farcical comedy in English.
