Oscar Wilde’s work has been collected and repackaged continuously since his death in 1900. The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde (1908) was an early attempt to gather everything in one place, and similar omnibus editions have appeared in every decade since. These collections are the most practical way to access Wilde’s full range, from the novel to the fairy tales to the plays to the essays.
Smaller themed collections focus on specific aspects of his work. Complete Fairy Tales gathers The Happy Prince, The Selfish Giant, and the other stories he wrote for children. The Ballad of Reading Gaol and Other Poems pairs his prison poem with earlier verse. More recent editions like Lies (2020) package his work for contemporary readers with new introductions and context.
