THE COMPLETE OSCAR WILDE

On arriving at customs in America, Oscar Wilde was asked if he had anything to declare. With a wry smile, he replied, 'Nothing but my genius'. In many ways this riposte is not just typical of the man but also of his work, especially for the stage – it is witty, slightly outrageous and contains a flinty heart of truth. This beautifully presented collection of his works includes his plays, poems, stories, essays and the heart-rending letter to Lord Alfred Douglas from Reading Gaol, De Profundis.Illustrated throughout by famous illustrators including Aubrey Beardsley, Walter Crane and Charles Robinson.
