THOMAS SIEBOLD, BOOK EDITOR I BONNIE SZUMSKI, SERIES EDITOR J I
GREENHAVEN PRESS, INC., SAN DIEGO, CA CONTENTS FOREWORD 11 INTRODUCTION
13 OSCAR WILDE: A BIOGRAPHY 15 CHARACTERS AND PLOT 55 CHAPTER 1: WILDE S
USE OF LANGUAGE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST 1. THE IMPORTANCE OF
BEING EARNEST AS A VERBAL OPERA BY ALAN BIRD 44 THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING
EARNEST IS LIKE A VERBAL OPERA: WILDE USES CLEVER DIALOGUE LIKE OPERATIC
ARIAS, RELEGATING SOME DRAMATIC ELEMENTS TO SECONDARY STATUS. ALSO LIKE
OPERA, THE PLOT HINGES ON SECRETS AND SCHEMES. 2. THE PLAY S WORLD OF
LINGUISTIC PLEASURE BY JULIA PREWITT BROWN 51 THE CHARACTERS IN THE PLAY
ARE BEYOND THE DETERMINISM OF THE PAST; THEY WANDER IN A LINGUISTIC
WORLD WHERE NO ONE SACRIFICES OR SUFFERS. WHEREAS THE CHARACTERS IN
VICTORIAN NOVELS OFTEN LEARN TO BEAR SUFFERING, THE CHARACTERS IN
WILDE S PLAY LEARN TO BEAR PLEASURE. 5. WILDE AS A MASTER EPIGRAMMIST
BY FRANCESCO COPPA 57 OSCAR WILDE IS A MASTER EPIGRAMMIST AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST IS AN EPIGRAMMATIC PLAY. WILDE CITES AND
REWORKS ESTABLISHED KNOWLEDGE, ALLOWING AUDIENCE MEM- BERS TO SHARE HIS
POSITION OF AUTHORITY. 4. WILDE S PAINSTAKING WRITING PROCESS BY RUSSELL
JACKSON 65 WILDE WAS A CAREFUL CRAFTSMAN WHO REVISED HIS WORK METIC-
ULOUSLY. THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST OMITS MANY OF THE STOCK
CHARACTERS AND THE OVERALL DECADENT TONE THAT DISTIN- GUISHED HIS
EARLIER WORK. 5. BUNBURY SOURCES BY WILLIAM GREEN 74 WILDE WAS
FASCINATED WITH NAMES, OFTEN USING PLACE NAMES, ATTRIBUTIVE NAMES, OR
NAMES OF PEOPLE WHOM HE KNEW IN HIS WORK. BUNBURY REFERS TO TWO ACTUAL
INDIVIDUALS KNOWN TO WILDE. 6. THE LANGUAGE OF THE DANDY * V BY PATRICIA
FLANAGAN BEHRENDT C 83~) IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST WILDE
ADROITLY RENDERS THE LANGUAGE OF THE DANDY, WHICH IS BOTH PENETRATINGLY
HU- MOROUS AND HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE. IT IS LANGUAGE THAT MANIPU- LATES
VIEWERS INTO LAUGHING AT TOPICS AND SITUATIONS THAT THEY WOULD NOT
NORMALLY FIND INHERENTLY FUNNY. CHAPTER 2: CHARACTERIZATION IN THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST 1. DUPLICITY IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING
EARNEST / R3 BY JOSEPH BRISTOW C 91/ IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING
EARNEST THINGS ARE NEVER WHAT THEY SEEM: CHARACTERS HAVE DOUBLE LIVES,
THE CITY AND THE COUNTRY REPRESENT TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF VALUES, AND THE
RITUAL OF EATING CONTRASTS THE PROPRIETY OF HIGH SOCIETY AND SEXUAL
DESIRE. 2. SPERANZA: THE MOTHER FIGURE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING
EARNEST BY PATRICK M. HORAN 97 WILDE S PORTRAYAL OF A MOTHER FIGURE IN
THE PLAY CAPTURES THE DUALISTIC NATURE OF HIS OWN MOTHER, SPERANZA. LADY
BRACKNELL REPRESENTS SPERANZA S CONVENTIONAL SIDE WHILE MISS PRISM
REPRESENTS HER ARTISTIC SIDE. 3. MARRIAGE AND WOMEN BY SOS ELTIS (W5 IN
HIS EXTENSIVE REVISION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, OSCAR WILDE
MADE GWENDOLEN AND CECILY MORE CONFIDENT, STYLISH, AND DETERMINED.
MOREOVER, IN THE FINAL VERSION OF THE PLAY THE SEXES ARE EQUALLY
BALANCED AND MARRIAGE IS VIEWED WITH MUCH LESS CYNICISM. 4. THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST AN D SOCIAL MASKS BY NORBERT KOHL THE COMEDY
IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST STEMS FROM THE UNEXPECTED CONTRAST
BETWEEN THE SERIOUSNESS OF SITUA- TIONS AND THE TRIVIAL, SUPERFICIAL
RESPONSES OF THE CHARACTERS TO THOSE SITUATIONS. THROUGHOUT THE PLAY THE
CHARACTERS RE- PLACE AN ANTICIPATED EMOTIONAL INVOLVEMENT WITH SEVERE
IN- TELLECTUAL DETACHMENT. CHAPTER 3: PHILOSOPHY, THEMES, AND MEANING IN
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST 1. WILDE S ATTACK ON SERIOUSNESS BY
PHILIP K. COHEN IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST WILDE CREATES A FAIRY
TALE ATMOSPHERE IN WHICH HARSH REALITIES ARE TRANSFORMED BY LAUGHTER AND
EVEN SUFFERING AND DEATH ARE ROBBED OF THEIR POWER. 2. THE IMPORTANCE OF
BEING EARNEST AS AN ANGLO-IRISH PARABLE BY DECLAN KIBERD 132 THE ROLE OF
THE DOUBLE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST REFLECTS THE STRAINED,
SYMBIOTIC RELATIONS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND. 3. THE PHILOSOPHY OF
THE DANDY BY ARTHUR GANZ WILDE EMBRACES AN ATTITUDE TOWARD LIFE CALLED
DANDYISM. THE DANDY IS A SELF-ABSORBED, INTENSE INDIVIDUALIST WHO RE-
JECTS BOTH THE CONTENT AND MORAL STANDARDS OF MIDDLE-CLASS SOCIETY. 4.
WILDE S VISION OF NOTHINGNESS BY DAVID PARKER IN HIS FARCE, WILDE
CONTEMPLATES A VISION OF NOTHINGNESS IN WHICH IDENTITY AND THE
STRUCTURES, VALUES, AND MORALS OF SO- CIETY MELT INTO INSUBSTANTIALITY.
TRUTH, LIKE IDENTITY, BECOMES AN INDIVIDUAL ACT OF IMAGINATION BUILT ON
A PROLIFERATION OF DECEPTIVE AND CONTRADICTORY IMPRESSIONS. CHAPTER 4:
GENRE AND STRUCTURE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST 1. WILDE S USE OF
IRONIC COUNTERPOINT BYERIC BENTLEY WILDE TAKES POTSHOTS AT THE PROBLEMS
OF SOCIETY BUT NEVER REALLY CROSSES INTO SATIRE OR HARSH CRITICISM.
THROUGHOUT THE PLAY WILDE MAINTAINS AN IRONIC COUNTERPOINT BETWEEN THE
OUTWARD ELEGANCE AND ASSUREDNESS OF THE CHARACTERS AND THEIR INNER
EMPTINESS. 2. THE TEDIUM OF THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST BY MARY
MCCARTHY * 167 WILDE IMPOSES HIS OPINIONS ON THE AUDIENCE AND HIS OUTRA-
GEOUS CHARACTERS BECOME MONOTONOUS. REPEATED JOKES, STOCK CHARACTERS,
AND PARADOXICAL HUMOR BECOME TEDIOUS. 3. THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
AS SELF-PARODY BY CHRISTOPHER S. NASSAAR 171 IN THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING
EARNEST WILDE PARODIES HIS EAR- LIER WORKS, REDUCING THEIR INTELLECTUAL
CONTENT TO HARMLESS ABSURDITY. CHRONOLOGY 178 FOR FURTHER RESEARCH 180
