This is an automatically translated description
“A Woman of No Importance” and “Lady Windermere’s Fan” by Oscar Wilde (1854—1900) are comedies of manners that were sharp satires on the society of the time and made the author famous during his lifetime. As a recognised master of paradox, Wilde embeds contradiction in the very titles of his plays and develops it later in the plot. Despite the sarcasm, irony, and mockery of social and family customs, his comedies are much more serious than they may seem at first glance. The brilliant author's wit conceals the depth of the problems raised.
