Gerald Arbuthnot receives a promotion from Lord Illingworth, a worldly politician who has a sordid history of women, one of whom is Gerald's widowed mother. When their connection is revealed, the young man questions his past, present and future aspirations. A Woman of No Importance opens with a high-class party featuring a group of society's most illustrious citizens. In the midst of the event, Gerald Arbuthnot enters and announces his new position as secretary to the renown, Lord Illingworth. It's an exciting opportunity that pleases Miss Hester Worsley, an American visitor and admirer of Gerald. What should be a cause for celebration becomes an awkward moment of truth between Lord Illingworth and Gerald's mother, Mrs. Rachel Arbuthnot. Set in the late-nineteenth century, A Woman of No Importance is a commentary on contemporary English society. One family's facade is broken by a hidden truth testing the relationship of mother and son. It's a provocative tale about the power of seduction and political ambition. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A Woman of No Importance is both modern and readable.
