1906ref. 140212Sunderland: Keystone Press 1906. First edition of Wilde's report on his lecture tour throughout America in 1882. Octavo original stiff paper wrappers. One of fifty numbered copies this is number 24. Very good with the majority of the original dust jacket. 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. Keystone Press unknown

ref. 9788563560254PENGUIN. 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.

A Trivial Comedy for Serious People. By the Author of Lady Windermere's Fan. London: Leonard Smithers and Co. 1899. First edition. One of 1000 numbered copies this being No. 256. Printed at the Chiswick Press. Small quarto 8 3/4 x 7 inches; 222 x 178 mm. 16 151 1 pp. 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. 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. 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. 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. Bibliographical Reference A pleasing and well-preserved example. The slight spine darkening and mellowing of the gilt are typical; copies retaining such integrity are increasingly scarce. Mason 382.
