| Summary, etc | The Importance of Being Earnest is Oscar Wilde's most well-known and best-loved play, as well as being an enormous success in his lifetime. For many people, it is the apogee of Wilde's work. Like Wilde, the play is the very embodiment of fin de sieclé British dandyism.<br/><br/>However, this seemingly frivolous play has a much darker side. Its critique of Victorian society--though delivered in a velvet glove--is every inch an iron fist. The play is a satire both of the hypocrisies of the society in which Wilde lived, and the damaging effect that these hypocrisies can have on the souls of those live under their rule. Wilde was to become one of those souls shortly after the first performance of the play when he initiated a libel trial that was to lead to his imprisonment for being a homosexual. |
