More about the book
Set in Padua, this five-act tragedy by Oscar Wilde explores themes of power and betrayal through its rich blank verse. Originally intended for actress Mary Anderson, it was abandoned until its 1891 debut as Guido Ferranti on Broadway. The play draws inspiration from Victor Hugo's historical works, particularly Lucrezia Borgia and Angelo, Tyrant of Padua. Despite its intriguing origins and Wilde's literary prowess, the play has seen limited revival and study, making it a rare gem in his oeuvre.
