The Collins Complete Works of Oscar Wilde is the only truly complete and authoritative single-volume edition of Oscar Wilde's works, and is available in both paperback and this hardback edition. Continuously in print since 1948, the Collins Complete Works of Oscar Wilde has long been recognised as the most comprehensive and authoritative single-volume collection of Wilde's texts available, containing his only novel, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, as well as his plays, stories, poems, essays and letters, all in their most authoritative texts. Illustrated with many fascinating photographs, the book includes introductions to each section by Merlin Holland (Oscar's grandson), Owen Dudley Edwards, Declan Kiberd and Terence Brown. Also included is a comprehensive bibliography of works by and about Oscar Wilde, and a chronological table of his life and work.

From the Author:

This edition contains hitherto unpublished poems
This edition is the first and only one to include a poem called 'La Circassienne', which I discovered in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. I also discovered different versions of two poems: 'Pan' and 'Desespoir'. These versions of the poems were copied from manuscripts collected together by one of Wilde's earliest editors and then appear to have been forgotten until they appeared in this selection.
