description: Here in one volume are his immensely popular novel, "The Picture Of Dorian Gray"; his last literary work, the "Ballad Of Reading Goal," a product of his own prison experience; and four complete plays: "Lady Windermere's Fan," his first dramatic success; "An Ideal Husband," which continued to poke fun at conventional morality; "The Importance Of Being Earnest," his finest comedy; and "Salome," a portrait of uncontrollable love originally written in French, now in a new translation by Richard Elman. Every selection appears in its entirely--a marvelous collection of outstanding works by the incomparable Oscar Wilde, whom Max Beerbohm so aptly labeled "a lord of language."
