The Importance of Being Earnest, by Wilde, Oscar - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - Among Oskar Wilde's plays, The Importance of Being Earnest is certainly the most celebrated. It still delights readers more than a century after its 1895 publication and premiere performance. Both Wells, H. G. and Shaw, George Bernard thought it one of the funniest plays ever written. Set in England during the late Victorian era, the play's humor derives in part from characters maintaining fictitious identities to allow them to escape unwelcome social obligations. The characters' plans are constantly sent topsy-turvy by unexpected turns of events. Along the way, Wilde's wit-sharpened dialogue skewers nearly everyone, throwing into high relief the strains of class pretension, social ambition, and romantic gamesmanship.

Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Thai thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trvial Comedy for Serious People by Oscar Wilde was edited for three audiences. The first includes Thai-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL or TOEIC preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Thai speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Thai in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement (AP) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Thai Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Thai or English.
