About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of An Ideal Husband, by Oscar Wilde. Read by a Full Cast of Voices. An Ideal Husband is an 1895 comedy by Oscar Wilde which revolves around blackmail and political corruption, and touches on the themes of public and private honor. The action is set in London, in "the present", and takes place within a single day. "Sooner or later," Wilde notes, "we shall all have to pay for what we do." But he adds that, "No one should be entirely judged by their past."
