An Ideal Husband, by Wilde, Oscar - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - An Ideal Husband is Wilde, Oscar's comedy of enemies, friends, and the secrets that catch up to us sooner or later. Sir Robert Chiltern is a wealthy, respected Member of Parliament, and host of a Grosvenor Square dinner party. Unfortunately, dinner guest Mrs. Chevely knows how he got his money, and she doesn't like the Chilterns. Can Sir Robert survive a blackmail attempt with his career and marriage intact? First produced in 1895, An Ideal Husband is both a Victorian comedy of manners and a timeless poke at human frailty. A play that exemplifies why Wilde is considered one of the best writers of dialogue in the English language.
