This is Oscar Wilde's most brilliant tour de force, a clever and uplifting comedy of manners that has delighted millions in innumerable productions since the first performance in London's St. James' Theatre in 1895. The Importance of Being Earnest is celebrated not only for the lighthearted ingenuity of its plot, but for its witty dialogue, rich with brilliant epigrams still enjoyed by all who take to artful conversation.
This excellent edition is listed on the College Board Advanced Placement reading list for AP English.
