Lady Windermere's Fan

Autor Oscar Wilde
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2009
"Lady Windermere's Fan, A Play About a Good Woman" is a play in four-acts by Oscar Wilde, first produced in 1892. It is a tale of scandal and the fall of a woman from grace in a hypocritical and absurdly contradictory high society. A sharp comedy packed full of the cutting witticisms and powerful aphorisms for which Wilde is famous, "Lady Windermere's Fan" is not to be missed by fans of the stage and of Wilde's seminal work in particular. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 - 30 November 1900) was an Irish novelist, playwright, poet, and essayist. Although he produced work in many forms, he is best remembered for being one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s, as well as for his world-famous novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray". Other notable works by this author include: "The Happy Prince and Other Stories" (1888), "A Woman of No Importance" (1893), and "The Importance of Being Earnest" (1898). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this work now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Notă biografică

Oscar Wilde, renowned Irish poet, playwright, and novelist, was born in 1854 and had gained a wide following for his aesthetic style, knowledge, and humor by the 1890s. At the height of his career, his reputation was destroyed when he was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison for homosexual acts of "gross indecency." In addition to this novel, he is best known for his witty quips and his play, "The Importance of Being Earnest."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's'

Lady Windermere has a happy marriage - or, at least, that's what she believes until one of London society's gossips, the Duchess of Berwick, arrives with her daughter to voice her suspicions about an affair Lord Windermere appears to be having. It's not just the Duchess who has evidence, however. Windermere's private bank book shows that he's been giving large sums of money to a 'Mrs Erlynne' - on frequent occasions - and he himself even admits to seeing much of the woman. To add insult to injury, Windermere insists that Mrs Erlynne is invited to the ball that is being held for Lady Windermere's birthday.

Employing the witty dialogue, social satire and outrageous paradox for which he is still remembered, Wilde's play shows us the destructiveness of gossip and superficial judgement, examines the ambiguous sexual morality and gender politics at the heart of the British ruling class, while simultaneously challenging our perceptions of what constitutes a 'good woman'.

This student edition contains a fully annotated version of the playtext. The introduction includes an account of Wilde's life and a detailed analysis of Lady Windermere's Fan as well as its stage history.

Ian Small is Professor of English Literature at the University of Birmingham. He is the author of a number of critical studies on Wilde and has edited several of Wilde's works, including a scholarly edition of Wilde's second society comedy, A Woman of No Importance, also published in the New Mermaids series.
