This unique volume reconstructs the original 1895 production of Wilde's timeless classic. Based upon a new, reconstructive method for the study of theatrical performance that aims to set the play securely in its historical and cultural moment, the edition offers a wealth of detail about the staging and acting and numerous first production and early revival photographs. The reconstructed text itself, differing in important ways from the 1899 first edition, recaptures the essential comic vitality of the play.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition overall, with a clean, square text block and crisp interior pages free from any markings aside from a cluster of working sticky-note tabs placed by the previous owner. The dust jacket shows moderate shelfwear, including rubbing to the extremities, a few small surface scratches, and light toning to the rear panel, but remains bright and intact. The binding is firm and sound, the plates and photographs sharp, and the text pages fresh. A solid, well-preserved example of a large-format scholarly monograph that tends to show wear due to its size and heavy paper stock. From the personal library of Tony Walton (1934-2022), the Academy Award-winning production and costume designer renowned for his visually imaginative theatrical work. Walton designed the 1974 Broadway revival of "The Importance of Being Earnest," and the presence of the working sticky-note annotations in this volume suggests it may have been consulted as part of his broader, long-term engagement with Wilde's play and its performance history. The volume's careful tabbing of historical and textual sections aligns with the kind of research Walton was known to undertake when developing conceptual approaches to staging and design. As such, this copy offers appealing association value for collectors of theatrical design, Wildeana, and Walton's distinguished career. From the personal collection of Tony Walton, Academy Award- and multiple Tony Award-winning stage and costume designer, celebrated for his imaginative work in stage and film. Artikel-Nr. TW1016
