Complete Works of Oscar Wilde

£25.00

The centenary edition of Collins’ Complete Works of Oscar Wilde – continuously in print since 1948 – was published in 1999 to mark the 100th anniversary of Wilde’s death. New material includes revisions to the text of The Ballad of Reading Gaol, and introductions to each section by Wilde’s grandson Merlin Holland, Owen Dudley Edwards, Declan Kiberd and Terence Brown. The comment in the Pall Mall Gazette, published only days after his death, said, “Mr. Wilde’s gifts included supreme intellectual ability, but nothing he ever wrote had strength to endure.” This 1,265 volume of his entire oeuvre, including plays, poems, prose, stories, essays and lectures hopefully proves them very wrong. This edition is in very good condition.
