The Importance of Being Earnest - Large Print Edition

by Oscar Wilde

Overview

The Importance of Being Earnest is a terrific play by Oscar Wilde. It stands the test of time. While it deals with Victorian society, it also hits on the universal truths about the lengths to which some men will go to avoid certain social obligations. It does so with humor and satire. The play was first performed in 1895, and the text here is from 1915.

This Large Print Edition is presented in easy-to-read 16 point type.
