"Alive with light-tipped quips and stinging darts, The Plays of Oscar Wilde represent in fullest measure the famous decadent's unique contribution to English letters. Master of the scintillant epigram and electric repartee, he is nowhere so happy and felicitous as in his dramatic writings. His dialogue still sparkles with wit and a cutting irony. . . He will always be remembered as the creator of these inimitably urbane, ironic and effervescent comedies." Price: 9.75 USD
