Oscar Wilde remains one of literature’s most brilliant and provocative voices, and this stunning Wordsworth Library Collection edition brings together the full breadth of his genius in one magnificent volume. From the tender grace of The Happy Prince to the shocking decadence of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde’s work dances between beauty and darkness with unmatched wit and artistry.
This comprehensive collection captures Wilde at every turn: his masterful comedies (including the incomparable The Importance of Being Earnest), his fairy stories that enchant readers of all ages, his provocative essays, and his haunting poetry. You’ll find the soul-baring De Profundis alongside The Ballad of Reading Gaol—works written after his imprisonment that reveal depths of emotion beyond his usual sparkling repertoire.
The November 2024 redesign transforms this collection into something truly special. Bound in soft-touch black linen with metallic gold and colored foil blocking, each volume features coordinated head and tail bands, a silk ribbon marker, and gorgeously spray-painted edges. The sewn pages and exclusive end paper design by Holly Dunn make this not just a book, but a treasure to be displayed and cherished.
Whether you’re discovering Wilde for the first time or returning to an old friend, this edition belongs on your shelf. It’s the kind of book that invites lingering—perfect for those salty afternoons when you want to lose yourself in language that sparkles like sunlight on the cove.
