About this book
In a time when Victorian society upheld rigid moral standards, "An Ideal Husband" by Oscar Wilde scrutinizes the interplay of ethics and politics within the upper echelons of London. This incisive play explores the concept of public versus private virtue, as characters grapple with the implications of political corruption and the pursuit of unblemished reputations. Wilde deftly weaves in the notion of accountability, challenging the very fabric of social ideals. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites readers to reflect on the nature of integrity and the societal pressures that shape personal choices. With its sharp wit and poignant commentary, "An Ideal Husband" remains a timeless examination of the complexities of human relationships and moral dilemmas.
