‎WILDE, Oscar.‎

‎A Woman of No Importance.‎

‎London: John Lane at the Sign of the Bodley Head 1894. Epigrammatic brilliance and shrewd social observation First edition one of 500 trade copies. The opening show of this satirical play on English manners was greeted 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. An additional 50 large-paper copies were also issued. Small quarto. Publisher's advertisement bookplate on front pastedown and their 16-page catalogue dated March 1894 at end all as called for. Original pink linen with gilt floral decorations by Charles Shannon spine lettered in gilt top edge trimmed others uncut. Welsh-language bookplate of John Evans on front free endpaper. Spine and edges faded light wear to spine ends and corners splits to inner hinges mild toning and spots to contents. A very good copy. Mason 364. Richard Ellmann Oscar Wilde 1988; Joel Kaplan "Wilde on the Stage" The Cambridge Companion to Oscar Wilde ed. by Peter Raby 1997. unknown‎

‎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.
