Excerpt from The Plays of Oscar Wilde, Vol. 2 Algernon. I'm sorry for that, for your sake. I don't play accurately - anyone can play accurately but I play with wonderful expression.

Musaicum Books presents to you this meticulously edited play collection. During his writing career, Oscar Wilde became known for his involvement in the rising philosophy of aestheticism. The opportunity to construct aesthetic details precisely, and combine them with larger social themes, drew Wilde to write drama. He started with philosophical dialogues and tragedies, and later moved on to comedies. Wilde produced several society comedies in the early 1890s, which made him one of the most successful playwrights of late-Victorian London. With these plays, he finally found a way to critique society on its own terms. Table of Contents: Vera The Duchess of Padua Lady Windermere's Fan A Woman of No Importance Salomé Salome (English Version) An Ideal Husband The Importance of Being Earnest La Sainte Courtisane A Florentine Tragedy For Love of the King The Decay of Lying (A Dialogue) The Critic as Artist (A Dialogue)

This collection includes famous works such as 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and 'An Ideal Husband'. Wilde's plays are known for their sharp social commentary, clever wordplay, and exploration of complex themes such as identity and morality. The plays are a reflection of the author's unique style, blending comedy with dark undertones, making them timeless pieces of literature that continue to resonate with audiences today. Oscar Wilde's background as a playwright, poet, and novelist heavily influenced the creation of these plays. His personal experiences and observations of society are evident throughout the collection, as he uses his platform to challenge conventions and expose the hypocrisies of Victorian society.
