One of the nineteenth century's most successful and most frequently
revived plays, An Ideal Husband has divided critics more than any
other of Wilde's plays. Treating political intrigue, financial
fraud, blackmail, scandal and spin, and the role of women in public
life, it is a play which engaged with issues of vital importance to
its late-Victorian audience, which continue to resonate today. Sos
Eltis, a specialist in Victorian drama and its relation to women's
issues, provides a stimulating new perspective on An Ideal Husband,
through an introduction that looks at its relation with
contemporary social purity campaigns, women's rights, and political
scandals. The introduction also gives a substantial performance
history, with particular reference to the play's film versions and
the influential Peter Hall theatre production.
