About this audiobook
The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde gathers the extraordinary range of a writer whose brilliance reshaped late Victorian literature: comedies of manners such as The Importance of Being Earnest, the gothic-philosophical novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, fairy tales, poems, essays, dialogues, reviews, and letters. Across more than 150 works, Wilde's style dazzles with paradox, epigram, irony, and aesthetic refinement, while his recurring concerns—beauty, artifice, morality, desire, and social hypocrisy—place him at the heart of fin-de-siècle Decadence and Aestheticism. Oscar Wilde (1854–1900), Irish-born classicist, wit, lecturer, playwright, and cultural provocateur, was shaped by Oxford, by the doctrines of "art for art's sake," and by an acute understanding of performance in public life. His triumphs in London theatre and his essays on criticism reveal a mind both playful and rigorous; his later disgrace, imprisonment, and exile deepen the tragic resonance of works such as De Profundis and The Ballad of Reading Gaol. This collection is indispensable for readers seeking not merely Wilde's famous aphorisms but the full architecture of his imagination. It rewards students, scholars, theatre lovers, and general readers with a complete portrait of a writer whose elegance remains inseparable from his moral daring.
