by Oscar Wilde12th Grade pick #28 · 54 pages · ISBN 9780486264783As an Amazon Associate KitQuest earns from qualifying purchases.About this bookSet in England during the late Victorian era, the play's humour derives in part from characters maintaining fictitious identities to escape unwelcome social obligations. It is replete with witty dialogue and satirises some of the foibles and hypocrisy of late Victorian society. It has proved Wilde's most enduringly popular play. - [*Wikipedia*][1] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Importance_of_Being_Earnest
