Customer Reviews

excellent pure genius
this is one of wilde's most intersting and dramtically effective plays which has the colourful creations of the manipulative Mrs Chevely to the naive and fickle Miss Markby. If you HAVE read any of his others plays and have enjoyed them then this is the play for you buy it now. Miss Davison said it is great

Perfect
This story is so enjoyable and perfectly crafted that it would enchant any reader. When you put it down, you just want to read it again. I would recommend it to anyone.

*An Ideal Husband* is more than an apparent oxymoron
Wilde, in part, attempts to portray the relativity of truth, power, and character, things we often take as absolutes, while also entertaining his audience with witty dialogue and comical mishaps.
