Gerald Arbuthnot is a young man on the\u003cbr\u003emake, with an American heiress and the post of secretary to the\u003cbr\u003ebrilliant but dissolute Lord Illingworth within his reach. When he asks\u003cbr\u003ehis mother to celebrate with them, it turns out that Illingworth is\u003cbr\u003eGerald's father, who seduced and abandoned his mother twenty years\u003cbr\u003eearlier. Loyalty weighs heavier than ambition, and Gerald declines the\u003cbr\u003eassociation with Illingworth. This edition, which also analyses Wilde's\u003cbr\u003evarious drafts and revisions of the play, argues that the playwright\u003cbr\u003ehere continued to explore the rivalry between an older man and woman\u003cbr\u003efor the affection of a beautiful young man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 7.79 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52503201218867,"sku":"9780713673517","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/T1llSFNZdGo3amFPaTFZR2E0alNoQT09.webp?v=1760165813","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-woman-of-no-importance-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
