WILDE, Oscar
For Love of the King
London: Methuen & Co. Ltd. 1922. The Infamous Fifteenth Volume - Wilde's 'Lost' Play That Wasn't"<br /> <br /> WILDE Oscar. For Love of the King. London: Methuen & Co. Ltd. 1922.<br /> <br /> Limited to 1000 copies.<br /> <br /> Small quarto 8 3/8 x 5 3/4 inches; 213 x 146 mm. vi blank xiv 1-39 1 blank 4 blank pp.<br /> <br /> Handsomely bound in three-quarter black morocco over gray marbled boards covers ruled in gilt spine with five raised bands lettered in gilt in compartments gray marbled endpapers top edge gilt others uncut. With the Ex Libris bookplate of Charles Bauman on the front paste-down. Housed in a black morocco edged cloth slipcase. An unusually fine well-preserved copy enhanced by an attractive later morocco binding.<br /> <br /> The notorious "fifteenth volume" of the Methuen collected works of Wilde. Originally issued in 1908 in fourteen volumes the set was unexpectedly augmented in 1922 by the addition of For Love of the King presented by the publisher as a newly discovered Wilde play.<br /> <br /> The claim was quickly met with skepticism and the work is now generally regarded as spurious or at best of highly doubtful attribution. Despite this Methuen produced the volume in uniform style with the earlier set encouraging its assimilation into complete runs.<br /> <br /> The text itself - a "Burmese Masque" - differs markedly in tone and quality from Wilde's authenticated dramatic works further contributing to the controversy surrounding its authorship.<br /> <br /> Long considered one of the more curious episodes in Wilde bibliography An essential - and somewhat mischievous - addition for collectors of the Methuen Wilde.

Wilde, Oscar
For Love of the King: A Burmese Masque.
London: Methuen & Co. Ltd 1923. First edition of the infamous fifteenth volume of Metheun's Collected Works of Oscar Wilde which caused a legal dispute between Wilde's bibliographer Christopher Millard and the publisher. Octavo original publisher's white linen cloth. One of 1000 copies printed on handmade paper. Publisher's "Presentation Copy" stamp to the title page. Near fine in the rare original dust jacket which is in good condition. Wilde’s “theme is not as is often supposed art’s divorce from life but its inescapable arraignment by experience. His creative works almost always end in unmasking. The hand that adjusts the green carnation suddenly shakes an admonitory finger. While the ultimate virtue in Wilde’s essays is in make-believe the denouement of his dramas and narratives is that masks have to go. We must acknowledge what we are. Wilde at least was keen to do so. Though he offered himself as the apostle of pleasure his created world contains much pain†Ellmann xvi. Methuen & Co. Ltd hardcover

Endpapers and half-title with the lightest amount of foxing otherwise a spectacular example the binding fresh and unfaded.<br /> <br /> One of Wilde's four great society comedies An Ideal Husband premiered in 1895 at the Haymarket Theatre and stands among his most sophisticated explorations of public virtue and private compromise. Written at the height of his fame - and on the eve of his dramatic fall - the play offers a sharply observed critique of political morality reputation and the currency of secrets in late Victorian society.<br /> <br /> The 1899 Smithers edition issued in a limitation of 1000 copies following Wilde's imprisonment represents the first appearance of the play in book form and remains the preferred edition for collectors.

The Importance of Being Earnest. A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. By the Author of Lady Windermere's Fan. London: Leonard Smithers and Co. 1899.<br /> <br /> First edition. One of 1000 numbered copies this being No. 256. Printed at the Chiswick Press.<br /> <br /> Small quarto 8 3/4 x 7 inches; 222 x 178 mm. 16 151 1 pp.<br /> <br /> Publisher's light red-brown linen over boards covers decoratively stamped in gilt spine decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt the design by Charles Shannon. All edges uncut. The bare minimum of rubbing to extremities free endpapers minimally browned from paste-down glue as usual; spine slightly darkened and gilt a little dulled. Still a near fine copy sound and unrestored example. <br /> <br /> The first book appearance of Wilde's most celebrated play originally performed in 1895 at the St. James's Theatre. Issued four years later by Smithers - Wilde's principal publisher during and after his fall - this edition presents the definitive text of his final and finest comedy.<br /> <br /> The Importance of Being Earnest represents the culmination of Wilde's dramatic art: a perfectly constructed satire of identity social convention and moral pretense combining epigrammatic brilliance with unmatched theatrical economy.<br /> <br /> The edition is notable for its elegant production including the Chiswick Press printing and the distinctive gilt cover design by Charles Shannon placing it among the most visually refined of Wilde's first editions.<br /> Bibliographical Reference<br /> <br /> A pleasing and well-preserved example. The slight spine darkening and mellowing of the gilt are typical; copies retaining such integrity are increasingly scarce.<br /> <br /> Mason 382. London: Leonard Smithers and Co., 1899 unknown

WILDE, OSCAR
IMPORTANCIA DE SER PRUDENTE E OUTRAS PECAS A
PENGUIN. new. Muito da fama de Oscar Wilde se deve ao romance O retrato de Dorian Gray mas foi como dramaturgo que ele alcan�ou o maior sucesso em vida com as com�dias de costumes Uma mulher sem import�ncia Um marido ideal e A import�ncia de ser prudente reunidas neste volume. Nas pe�as que em larga medida satirizam a alta sociedade vitoriana que jamais o aceitou de bom grado Wilde aponta de maneira ir�nica para si mesmo. H� algo do autor nas observa��es c�nicas de lorde Illingworth em Uma mulher sem import�ncia assim como no estilo de vida despreocupado de lorde Goring o bon vivant que � a fonte de sensatez de Um marido ideal e tamb�m no inconsequente d�ndi Algernon de A import�ncia de ser prudente. Com introdu��o e notas de Richard Allen Cave diretor e estudioso do teatro brit�nico a edi��o da Penguin-Companhia situa o leitor sobre o contexto em que as pe�as foram encenadas e as inova��es que Wilde um intelectual de grande apuro t�cnico trouxe para a dramaturgia moderna.
