It includes the three famous dialogues from Intentions – ‘The Decay of Lying’ and the two parts of ‘The Critic as Artist’; ‘Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime’; ‘The Happy Prince and Other Tales’ in its entirety; and ‘Lady Windermere’s Fan’ and ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’. In a brilliant introduction Richard Ellman reaches to the heart of Wilde’s character as a creative artist; he illumines not only his work but also the man himself with his precarious charm. With a beautiful blue cover featuring a portrait of the author himself, this lovely old book is the best kind of addition to any vintage library.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56487915749755,"sku":"10932756","price":6.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_532901_jpg.jpg?v=1791213779","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/oscar-wildes-selected-writings-chancellor-press-1985","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
