A Woman of No Importance.
London John Lane 1894. . First edition one of 50 large paper copies; 4to; printed on hand-made paper contemporary ownership inscription to limitation endpapers browned; publisher's straw coloured buckram with gilt decorations by Charles Ricketts gilt lettering to spine spine browned a couple of trivial marks to covers else very good plus; housed in custom purple cloth chemise and matching quarter morocco slip-case.<br /> One of only 50 large paper copies. This play contains some of Wilde's most famous epigrams.<br /><br />First performed in April 1893 prior to being published in book form A Woman of No Importance addresses many social issues with Wilde's wit and dark humour. The run of the play was cut short as a result of Wilde's arrest and prosecution. The scandal dampened enthusiasm for Wilde's work until after his death in 1900 when interest in his work began to revive.<br /> Mason 402. London, John Lane, 1894. hardcover

Wilde, Oscar
A Woman of No Importance
London: John Lane at the Sign of The Bodley Head 1894 First edition limited large paper copy with "Of this edition 50 copies have been printed" statement on the verso of the fourth preliminary page and no publisher's catalogue at the back of the book. Publisher's yellow buckram boards with gilt decorations by Charles Shannon to covers and spine spine lettered in gilt. Near fine with some toning to spine and board edges light wear to spine ends with a very shallow chip to cloth at foot of spine bottom right corner of front board worn to boards and heavy offsetting to endpapers. Overall a beautiful copy of one of Wilde's four celebrated drawing-room plays. Mason 365. A Woman of No Importance is a four-act play that was first produced in London at the Haymarket Theatre on April 19 1893. Like many of Wilde's plays it satirizes the English upper-class and criticizes Victorian society. The title "a woman of no importance" refers to the character Mrs. Arbuthnot who bears the illegitimate son of Lord Illingworth. Although societal conventions deem her a sinful woman Wilde proves Arbuthnot a respectable widow who is rewarded with a son who treats women respectfully. In contrast Illingworth one of Wilde's archetypal dandy figures is rejected by his son and many of the women in the play making him a "man of no importance." A Woman of No Importance was published simultaneously in two formats: small octavo the standard edition of 500 copies and quarto the "Large Paper" issue of 50 copies. While both constitute the first edition of A Woman of No Importance the large paper copies are decidedly rarer than the octavos; intended to be more exclusive and deluxe publications large paper formats were typically produced using higher quality materials lacked the publisher's advertisements and were printed in small print runs. Because they were intended as collectibles from publication large paper copies of Wilde's plays are exceedingly scarce. First Edition Limited Large Paper Copy. Hard Cover. Near Fine.

WILDE, Oscar
A Woman of No Importance.
London: John Lane at the Sign of the Bodley Head 1894. Mr Oscar Wilde is not in the house First edition one of 500 trade copies. The play's opening show was met with applause for the actors and boos for the playwright causing Wilde to announce from behind a curtain "Ladies and gentlemen I regret to inform you that Mr Oscar Wilde is not in the house" Ellmann p. 381. Wilde's opulent production used "the market forces of luxury dressmaking to comment upon the worlds of his Haymarket patrons. Audiences in the stalls and boxes continued to be both flattered and vexed by the antics of their on-stage doubles while viewers in the upper galleries enjoyed the additional spectacle of fashionable Society catching its likeness in Wilde's cunningly set mirrors" Kaplan p. 252. The play premiered at Haymarket Theatre on 19 April 1893 and ran until 16 August for 113 performances. A further 50 large paper copies were also issued. Small quarto. Publisher's 16-page catalogue dated March 1894 at rear. Original pink linen with gilt floral decorations by Charles Shannon spine lettered in gilt fore and bottom edges untrimmed. Housed in a custom green cloth slipcase and chemise. Faint marks and fading to spine ends slightly bumped cloth lightly rubbed contents toned as usual. A very good copy. Mason 364.

WILDE, Oscar
A Woman of No Importance.
London: John Lane at the Sign of the Bodley Head 1894. Attractively bound First edition trade issue one of 500 copies printed; a further 50 copies were also issued on handmade paper. An attractively bound copy with the bookplate to the rear pastedown of the eccentric sportsman and artist William Eden 1849-1915 father of future Prime Minister Anthony Eden and who like Wilde had a dispute with the artist James McNeill Whistler. Eden excelled at a range of sports from boxing and horse riding to shooting "the epitome of the sporting squire" ODNB a member of several clubs and well known in London society. So too was he a keen amateur artist and aesthete building a fine collection of paintings and was a member of the aristocratic group The Souls. The contrast between the sportsman and the aesthete has been noted: "There was little that was harmonious in his nature and the aesthetic side warred with and exacerbated rather than complemented his athleticism making him a bored sportsman and a militant aesthete. As he grew older the world's failure to correspond to his ideals drove him to furious rages and the debased taste of humanity confirmed his atheism - for how could a God have made such a botch of things" ibid. His dispute with Whistler was occasioned when Eden commissioned a portrait of his wife which Whistler executed but then kept the cheque without handing over the painting leading to a legal case which resulted in Whistler's book The Baronet and the Butterfly 1899. Wilde too had a lengthy rivalry with Whistler out of the courts but with very public sparring. Small quarto 204 x 148 mm. Early 20th-century pink straight-grain morocco for Hatchards of Piccadilly spine lettered in gilt pink cloth sides marbled endpapers top edge gilt pink silk page marker. Bound without initial blank. A few pencilled lines in margins. Spine lightly sunned very light rubbing at extremities slight split in hinge preceding dedication leaf contents clean; an excellent copy. Mason 364. hardcover

Wilde, Oscar
A Woman of No Importance
Paris London: Leonard Smithers 1903. Wilde's satire of upper-class life premiered in 1893. This particular publication is a rather deceptive edition LIMITED to 250 copies. No publisher is given but per COPAC it is Wilde's friend Leonard Smithers who published many of the "decadent" writers of his day including Captain Sir Richard Burton. The city of publication is named as Paris but even this is in doubt and is most likely London; citing Paris may have allowed a hint of scandal to attach. Tan cloth binding with titling and the date "1903" in gilt on the spine. Clean text;154 pages. Very Good condition with minor rubbing to the margins and some red stains on the rear cover. There is a signature on the limitation page and a different one on the Title Page. The only real defect to be noted is the presence of many more signatures - as if practicing - on the endpapers and half-title page. One would be tempted to call this "juvenalia" but these appear to be adult handwriting. Some of these are pencil and others ink. Limited. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Wilde, Oscar, the author of Lady Windermere's Fan
An Ideal Husband
London: Leonard Smithers and Co 1899. First edition. Hardcover. Good overall. A limited printing of the first edition 1000. <br /> <br /> In 1996 critic Bindon Russell wrote in "The Wildean" that "An Ideal Husband" is "the most autobiographical of Wilde's plays mirroring as it does his own situation of a double life and an incipient scandal with the emergence of terrible secrets. Whilst Lord Goring is a character with much of Wilde's own wit insight and compassion Gertrude Chiltern can be seen as a portrait of Constance Wilde." <br /> <br /> 8vo 213pp brown-red linen over boards gilt stamped decoration on front cover and spine; gilt titles on spine. Spine rebacked with the original spine laid down. With bookplates of Herschel V. Jones and Alfred and Sara Bernheim. Internally clean some pages uncut. Leonard Smithers and Co hardcover
