The Importance of Being Earnest is a play that was written by Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde and published in 1895. The play's back cover synopsis reads as follows:
"Oscar Wilde's legendary wit dazzles in the Importance of Being Earnest, one of the greatest and most popular works of drama to emerge from Victorian England. A light-hearted satire of the absurdity of all forms and conventions, this comic masterpiece features and unforgettable cast of characters who, as critic Max Beerbohm observed, 'speak a kind of beautiful nonsense - the language of high comedy, twisted into fantasy.'
This collection also included Oscar Wilde's most famous comedies, Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, and An Ideal Husband, as well as his poetic tragedy Salome - all written between 1891 and 1895, Wilde's most creative period. George Bernard Shaw called Oscar Wilde 'our most thorough playwright. He plays with everything: with wit, philosophy, with drama, with actors and audience, with the whole theater.'"
