Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its characteristics. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.An Unimportant Woman is a play by Irish playwright Oscar Wilde. The play premiered on April 19, 1893 at London 's Haymarket Theater. Just like Wilde's other society plays, he satirizes English upper-class society. It has been performed on stages in Europe and North America since his death in 1900.The play begins with a terrace party at Lady Hunstanton's estate. The upper-class guests spend most of Act I exchanging social gossip and little conversation. Lady Caroline Pontefract is condescending to an American visitor, Hester Worsley, and proceeds to give her own opinion of everyone present (and of the life around her).
