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 .
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.
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...

王爾德好多話都通過自己戲劇來說 溫夫人很經典
评分genius.
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~
评分幾年前讀的 記錄一下 不過記得讀的時候 非常流暢
评分The Importance of Being Earnest好有趣啊。塑造一個不存在的形象當不想做某事情的時候就推卸給那個人,哈哈。最有趣的是你所有虛假的假設最後都成真瞭。
