5.0 out of 5 stars Works of true genius, 18 Sep 1999
This review is from: Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: Centenary Edition (Paperback)
Wilde can not be beaten - whether it is his passionate poetry, witty plays or his masterpieces - 'The Picture of Dorian Grey' and the breathtaking letter "De Profundis". He is sensual and so human that one can not help but cry and laugh along with his work. His philosophy, doctrines and morals combine with a tremendous feel for the beautiful and entertaining to produce the most remarkable works. So much love and pain is evident in all his pieces that they do not only affect one as fascinating examples of art but are instead felt in one's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wilde for the masses, 6 Mar 2009
By Ducky (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
Wilde's work is fantastic - witty and hilarious but he also had an amazing way of getting to the truth of things, especially when in the context of human behaviour. I'm afraid I feel the need to respond to Fredi's review stating that the price is an insult to Wilde's genious... Firstly, he is dead, so he won't be missing out and I'm pretty sure his works sell well enough that his family don't need to worry about that side either. Secondly, I personally am really pleased to see the price of this - to me it says that just about anyone can afford to have their own copy to enjoy, and to me that is fantastic - I'm reasonably sure that Wilde would agree with me. Wilde is one of the great authors in history, up there with the likes of Shakespeare, and I really believe that everyone should have access to this wonderful literature - so well done Amazon for bringing it to us so affordably!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oscar Wilde--the BOSS..., 12 Feb 2000
This review is from: Complete Works of Oscar Wilde: Centenary Edition (Paperback)
Oscar Wilde's consummate skill in shedding light on the deepest recesses of the human psyche and his inimitable wit can only be compared to living a thousand lives in the twinkling of an eye... Shakespeare's reincarnation, perhaps...?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, not easy to read ......
The works of Oscar Wilde needs no further review - this is a classic collection. However, the print fonts are too small - that's the trade-off for the value edition. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb
Wilde's personal style and sparkling wit make this collection a treasure. Wilde is undoubtedly the greatest playwright this country has ever produced. Buy it.
