«Lady Windermere's Fan» is Oscar Wilde's stage comedy, published by Penguin Books in paperback (80 pages, in English).
The play follows Lady Windermere, a young aristocrat of strict morals who, suspecting her husband's infidelity with the mysterious Mrs Erlynne, considers abandoning her life. With dialogue full of wit and paradox, Wilde contrasts morality with appearances; Mrs Erlynne harbours a secret that Lady Windermere must not learn.
Part of the Penguin Popular Classics collection; the play was originally published in 1892.
An English edition for readers interested in Victorian theatre and Oscar Wilde's classics.
Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish author, poet and playwright. After writing in different literary styles throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular and influential dramatists in London in the early 1890s. He was a key figure in the emerging Aestheticism movement of the late 19th century and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright of the Victorian era. Wilde is best known for his Gothic novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), his epigrams, plays and bedtime stories for children, as well as his criminal conviction in 1895 for gross indecency and for practicing homosexual acts.
