About the Item
A very attractive collection of works from popular Irish poet and playwright, Oscar Wilde, edited by his friend and literary executor, Robert Ross.
A lovely selection of the plays, poetry and additional prose of Oscar Wilde.
Complete in fifteen volumes, uniformly bound in the original blue cloth.
Edited by Robert Ross, a British journalist, art critic and art dealer, best known for his devoted friendship to Wilde and to whom he was literary executor.
Ross remained loyal to Wilde during his last years, offering emotional and financial support to him during his imprisonment and staying with him when he died in Paris in 1900.
This set includes some of Wilde's most identifiable works, such as his controversial gothic novel, 'Picture of Dorian Gray', and his four-act comedy, 'Lady Windermere's Fan', following a woman who suspects of her husband's affair.
With other miscellaneous writing such as his literary reviews, and a bibliography by Stuart Mason, which is illustrated throughout.
The entirety of this set contains the following works:
Volume I - The Duchess of Padua
Volume II - Salome: A Florentine Tragedy and Vera
Volume III - Lady Windermere's Fan: A Play About a Good Woman
Volume IV - A Woman of No Importance
Volume V - An Ideal Husband
Volume VI - The Importance of Being Earnest
Volume VII - Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Prose Pieces
Volume VIII - Intentions and the Soul of Man
Volume IX - The Poems of Oscar Wilde
Volume X - A House of Pomegranates
Volume XI - De Profundis
Volume XII - The Picture of Dorian Gray and For Love of the King
Volume XIII - Reviews
Volume XIV - Miscellanies
Volume XV - Bibliography of Oscar Wilde
