About the author

Oscar Wilde

The supreme wit of Victorian drama, Wilde wrote comedies that concealed profound social criticism behind brilliant epigrams. His imprisonment for homosexuality gave him the subject of The Ballad of Reading Gaol and De Profundis. The Importance of Being Earnest is the greatest comedy in the English language.
