* Description: The Importance of Being Earnest is a three-act comedy of manners. The fun begins precisely at the beginning of the play when Jack pays his friend Algernon a visit at his London flat but it barely ends at its ending at Jack s place at Hertfordshire. It is, indeed, the best dramatic example of the wit of Oscar Wilde which has also been dubbed as a satire on the late Victorian aristocratic life. It was first performed in London on 14 February 1895, incidentally the Valentine s Day- an ideal day to go with the themes of love, courtship and mariage in the play. Later, it was published in 1898.

* Language (for non-English books): English
* Link to book page which includes the cover and other books data on a NON-BOOKSELLER site, such as a publisher site, an author site, etc. Publishers who sell their own published books are an acceptable source. https://readings.com.pk/book/1271845
