Oscar Wilde was one of the most distinguished men of British letters in the nineteenth century. An accomplished and versatile writer of fiction, drama, poetry, essays, and criticism, he was known for his bitting wit and fearless challenges to the aesthetic and literary conventions of his day.

The Picture of Dorian Gray and Other Works collects Wilde's complete fiction and plays, including The Picture of Dorian Gray, a novel condemned in its day as scandalous and immoral but recognized today as a landmark work of Victorian fiction. This volume also includes the full contents of Wilde's three short-fiction collections, Lord Arthur Saviles Crime and Other Stories, The Happy Prince and Other Tales and A House of Pomegranates, and all nine of Wilde's plays, including The Importance of Being Earnest, Lady Windermere's Fan, An Ideal Husband, and A Woman of No Importance.
