This collection  proves  that he was also one of the most  versatile. Effortlessly achieved,  each  revealing a different aspect of his  brilliance, all of the  plays, prose writings,  and poems gathered here support  Wilde’s  belief that entertainment provides the  best kind of edification. The   works gathered here include Wilde’s once-controversial  and now  classic novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Picture of Dorian Gray\u003c\/i\u003e, the riotously comic   plays “The Importance  of Being Earnest” and “Lady  Windermere’s Fan,” and the famous  poem he wrote  after being  released from prison, “The Ballad of Reading Gaol.” This  expanded   new edition now includes the complete version of Wilde’s moving  letter  from  prison, De Profundis, and his teasing parable  about Shakespeare, \"The  Portrait  of Mr. W. H.\" Other notable included writings  are the semi-comic mystery story “Lord  Arthur’s Savile’s Crime” and the  essay \u003ci\u003eThe Soul of Man Under Socialism\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42682288963839,"sku":"9780679405832","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780679405832_s600x595.jpg?v=1775584660","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780679405832","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
