<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This Methuen student edition first published in 1981 by Eyre Methuen Ltd"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Wilde's "trivial play for serious people" is <b>a sparkling comedy of<br/>manners</b>. This hilariously absurd satire pits sincerity against style, <br/>barbed witticisms against ostentatious elegance. Wilde's brilliantly<br/>constructed plot and famous dialogue enrich the appeal of his<br/>celebrated characters, as he turns accepted ideas inside out and<br/>situations upside down in this, his masterpiece.<p><br/>The Student Edition offers a <b>plot summary, full commentary, character<br/>notes and questions for study, besides a chronology and bibliography.</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin in 1856. In the years following his<br>graduation from Oxford in 1878 he published poems and stories which<br>included The Picture of Dorian Gray.
