A Woman of No Importance is a play written by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1893. The play is a satirical critique of the upper-class society of Victorian England, focusing on the hypocrisy and superficiality of its members. The story revolves around the character of Mrs. Arbuthnot, a woman who has been ostracized by society due to a scandalous past. Despite her efforts to distance herself from her past, she is confronted by her illegitimate son, who is unaware of his true identity. The play explores themes of morality, social class, and the role of women in society. Wilde's witty dialogue and clever use of irony and satire make A Woman of No Importance a classic example of Victorian-era drama.LADY HUNSTANTON. Politics are in a sad way everywhere, I am told. They certainly are in England. Dear Mr. Cardew is ruining the country. I wonder Mrs. Cardew allows him. I am sure, Lord Illingworth, you don't think that uneducated people should be allowed to have votes?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
