This is the first collection of plays in the Complete Works of
Oscar Wilde series edited by Ian Small. It contains full-dress
critical editions, at the high editorial standard of the familiar
Oxford English Texts series, encompassing all surviving manuscript
material and all other relevant documents, of three of Wilde's
plays: The Duchess of Padua, the original French Salome, and the
first English translation, by Lord Alfred Douglas. The edition
contains comprehensive introductions and editorial introductions,
as well as extensive annotations. The Duchess of Padua is one of
two early plays by Wilde (the other being Vera; or, The Nihilists)
that signify his youthful interest in making his mark on the
contemporary theatre. They are imperfect works, but they show the
real talent and definite promise that would be fulfilled, in the
early 1890s, first with Lady Windermere's Fan (completed 1891,
produced 1892) and then, almost simultaneously, with the next play
in this volume, Wilde's French Salome, written also in 1891,
completed in 1892, but not published until 1893: his only work
written in French. Douglas's translation, which left the author of
the French work disappointed by its 'schoolboy' quality, is also
included here since it was issued over Wilde's name (and dedicated
to Douglas, 'the translator of my play') and is indisputably part
of Wilde's oeuvre.
