"Lady Windermere's Fan" is a four-act comedy play by Oscar Wilde, first performed in 1892. The story revolves around Lady Windermere, who suspects her husband of having an affair with another woman. She confronts him and he invites the other woman, Mrs Erlynne, to their birthday ball. Lady Windermere decides to leave her husband for another lover, but Mrs Erlynne, who is actually Lady Windermere's mother, tries to persuade her to return.
Mrs Erlynne sacrifices her reputation to save her daughter's marriage. The play was written after Wilde's previous plays had little success, and he opted to take a percentage of the profits instead of a fixed sum. The play underwent revisions and rehearsals before its premiere. It explores themes of society, infidelity, and the contrast between mass culture and high society. "Lady Windermere's Fan" has been adapted into films, television productions, and a musical. Discover a new way to read classics with Quick Read.

Oscar Wilde was a prominent figure in the aestheticism movement, engaging in various literary activities such as publishing poems and lecturing on art. He gained fame with his only novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray, " which incorporated themes of decadence and beauty. Wilde also wrote successful society comedies and was one of the most renowned playwrights of late-Victorian London. However, his fame was overshadowed by a scandal when he prosecuted the Marquess of Queensberry for libel, leading to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency.
Wilde was convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labor. During his imprisonment, he wrote his last work, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol." Wilde's life was marked by personal tragedies, including the death of his sister and the loss of his reputation. He left a lasting legacy as a writer and is remembered for his wit and literary contributions.
