内容简介
Oscar Wilde’s infamous wit, taste for scandal, and gift for revealing the hypocrisies of fashionable society are on display here in this collection of his finest plays. A genius both of and ahead of his time, he built his craft on the eternal questions of right and wrong—with pithy dialogue as fresh today as when it was written. In addition to Wilde’s five major plays, this Signet Classics edition contains:
* Two interviews with the playwright at the peak of his career, in which Wilde discusses his work—and his critics
* Some of his most brilliant critical writing, in which he discusses the nature of art in terms that anticipate much of today’s literary theory
* An appendix that restores valuable lines that appeared in the original text of The Importance of Being Earnest With an Introduction by Sylvan Barnet and a New Afterword by Marylu Hill
作者简介
Born in Ireland,
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was educated in Dublin & Oxford and went on to become the leading and most prominent exponent of flamboyant aestheticism. As well as his many plays, he wrote one novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), and published several volumes of poetry and criticism. He was imprisoned in 1895 for homosexual offences and after his release he died in exile in Paris. Richard Cave has edited a selection of Yeats' plays for Penguin Classics.
奥斯卡·王尔德(Oscar Wilde),又译奥斯卡·怀尔德,全名奥斯卡·芬葛·欧佛雷泰·威尔斯·王尔德(Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde,1854年10月16日—1900年11月30日)英国唯美主义艺术运动的倡导者,英国著名的作家、诗人、戏剧家、艺术家、童话家。《典雅》杂志将他和安徒生相提并论。
王尔德生于爱尔兰都柏林的一个家世卓越的家庭,是家中的次子。他的父亲威廉姆·怀尔德爵士是一个外科医生,他的母亲是一位诗人与作家。
王尔德自幼便显示很高的天赋,他精通法语、德语和古典文学。
王尔德自都柏林圣三一学院(Trinity College)毕业后,获得奖学金,于1874年进入牛津大学莫德林学院(Magdalen College)学习。在牛津,王尔德受到了沃尔特·佩特及约翰·拉斯金的审美观念影响,并接触了新黑格尔派哲学、达尔文进化论和拉斐尔前派的作品,这为他之后成为唯美主义先锋作家确立了方向。
