Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) has perhaps attracted more critical and biographical attention in recent years than any other writer of the late-nineteenth century. Renowned for his skills in shocking a prurient bourgeoisie, he first built his career as a raconteur and stylish public speaker. This boxed set reprints the 1908 collected works together with the first trade edition of The Picture of Dorian Grey. Also included is Stuart Mason's comprehensive Bibliography of Oscar Wilde, which remains an indispensable research tool. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
