Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, poet, and author of numerous short stories, and one novel. Known for his biting wit, and a plentitude of aphorisms, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest.
As the result of a widely covered series of trials, Wilde suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years hard labour after being convicted of "gross indecency" with other men. After Wilde was released from prison he set sail for Dieppe by the night ferry. He never returned to Ireland or Britain, and died in poverty.
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 .
The balance of the piece is astounding. Characters developing, setting construction and plot unfolding, all of which present the perfect juxtapositions of two ends of everything: affluence and scarcity, wittiness and dullness, embrace and hostility, and of ...

評分王尔德算不上一个好的剧作家,恩。比如这部the importance of being earnest,无论男女、老少、主仆,十来号人说起话来都是一个调调,我晕~~ 一样伶牙俐齿,玩世不恭,每个人的嘴里都时不时冒出几句王氏招牌悖论,害得我老觉得是王尔德一人分饰多角自言自语了三幕!自负机智诙...

真jb難懂。。。。
评分莎樂美那篇看得雲裏霧裏的,不過補習瞭常齣現在畫裏和歌劇裏的聖經故事。其他的講society的充滿瞭各種俏皮話,正說反說如他們所諷刺的一樣毫無意義。戲劇衝突倒還是挺有趣的。Earnest這個格外好笑,如同sketch show。
评分裏麵我最喜歡的要屬An Ideal Husband瞭,這本書在床上斷斷續續看瞭2個星期。剛剛接觸戲劇,發現戲劇真的很有意思,比起小說更加直白與親切,不過想詩劇這類型的戲劇我看瞭還是有種雲裏霧裏的感覺,裏麵有一篇看得我很崩潰...王爾德的文字寫的很幽默,我也買瞭企鵝的The Picture of Dorian Gray,希望這學期結束前能把那本也看瞭。
评分終於全看完瞭!嗯,共同點是每一篇都妙語連珠!每篇都有一個主題。然後分開說,Lady Windermeres's Fan比較solid,Woman of no importance的大團圓結局不太喜歡,A ideal husband的Lord Goring很贊,兩個短篇非常詭異,結局都大愛!最後當然是The Importance of Being Earnest,我的老天這個超過前幾篇不是一個級彆,要笑到肚子痛,Wilde at his very best!順便說一下,他還是真喜歡夾帶私貨呢,尤其是他的古典學知識哈哈好,不過我很喜歡~
