The Importance of Being Earnest is both Oscar Wilde's most important and funniest play. As the subtitle suggests there is more to this play than it's farcical nature suggests. Wilde calls into question the nature of identity while poking fun at proper British manners and the aristocracy. Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while greatly reducing our impact on the environment.
