Works

This collected edition presents Oscar Wilde's main writings across genres. The fiction includes the society novel of Dorian Gray and the fairy tales and stories of artists, ghosts, and moral reversal. The plays range from comedies of manners about London drawing rooms to the biblical tragedy of Salome. Poems, critical essays on art and society, and a selection of letters, including prison writing, complete the usual grouping. The pieces are independent. The book is a multi-volume library of Wilde's work, not a biography and not a single play printed alone.

Bound in pale brown cloth with a design in dark brown and gold. Dark brown endleaves. Dark brown three-volume slipcase with Wilde's name in gold. Twenty leaves of illustrations. Twenty pages of photographs. Twelves pages of reproductions of contemporary documents and photographs.
