The Wicked Wit of Oscar Wilde (The Wicked Wit of series)

In a unique tribute to one of history's most revered writers, this anthology highlights the virtuoso of the well-turned phrase and the master of the studied insult, Oscar Wilde. So perfect were Wilde’s verbal thrusts that his victims were often flattered to have been the cause of them. This sparkling collection shows why, more than 100 years after his death, Wilde’s dazzling repartee and the wicked brilliance of his social observations continue to entertain and enthrall succeeding generations.
