Description - Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde

Lady Windermere misinterprets her husband’s interest in an older woman, Mrs. Erlynne, causing a rift that could lead to both marital and societal ruin.Lady Windermere’s Fan Is an intriguing tale that examines intention versus outcome in a world driven by perception.

Lady Windermere is a young wife who’s concerned by her husband’s connection to the mysterious, Mrs. Erlynne. She believes the woman is a threat to her marriage and livelihood. Despite her husband’s denial, Lady Windermere decides to entertain the attention of another suitor—Lord Darlington. In the heat of the moment, she engages in reckless behavior that could cause irreputable damage to her name. A sudden act of kindness from an unexpected source spares Lady Windermere a harsh fate.

Like many of Wilde’s works, Lady Windermere’s Fan highlights the hypocrisy and oppression of high-class society. It creates an environment of secrets that can free or destroy its keepers. This is a thought-provoking story with a resounding a message.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Lady Windermere’s Fan is both modern and readable.
