The importance of being Earnest / Wilde, Oscar

Jack Worthing creates a fictitious brother, Earnest, who lives in London, to escape his dull country routine but finds the lie backfiring when he falls in love.

Presents an annotated edition of the nineteenth-century comedy of mixed identity about a man who, as a child, was absentmindedly placed in a handbag and left at the railroad station; and includes modern spelling, a critical introduction, a biography of author Oscar Wilde, and other reference information.
