The elegant verse and subtle observation of the Amores, The Art of Love, and The Cures of Love made their author the talk of Rome.

This authoritative edition was formerly published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Wilde's poetry and prose short stories, plays, critical dialogues and his only novel - to give the essence of his work and thinking.
