THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
The Importance è stata definita ‘la più bella commedia di tutti i tempi’.
—Masolino D’Amico
Autumn 2014 – Spring 2015
THE OSCHOLARS is publishing a series of rough guides to editions, productions, and secondary sources as a contribution to the study of the play. They are, perforce, far from complete and we welcome additions and corrections. These pages have been compiled by David Charles Rose. The images have been researched by Danielle Guérin-Rose.
The first pages went on line on 27th October; new pages have been added or old ones revised on 31st October; 1st November; 7th November; 12th November; and, in 2015, 25th January.
