More DescriptionAn Ideal Husband is the most popularly produced of all Wilde's plays. It is easy to see why. Here, we are treated to a work that goes beyond a witty and urbane drawing-room comedy. Instead, the story quickly develops into a more sinister tale involving a blackmail plot and political corruption - and through which Wilde explores the conflict between private interest and public duty. The result is a compelling and satisfyingly complete play that deserves its status as Wilde's dramatic masterpiece.Although suitable for every reader, this larger print edition of Wilde's play is particularly well-suited to school and university students and their teachers. Here, the larger font size will make reading a more comfortable experience whilst also providing plenty of extra room in the wider margins for making personal notes.
