About Oscar Wilde

Books review of author Oscar Wilde pdf

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, poet, and novelist who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the Victorian era. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and Magdalen College, Oxford. Wilde was a flamboyant figure in Victorian society, known for his wit, dandyism, and homosexuality, which was then considered a crime.

Wilde's literary career began in the 1880s, when he gained popularity with his comedic plays, including "Lady Windermere's Fan," "A Woman of No Importance," and "The Importance of Being Earnest." These plays were known for their clever wordplay, social commentary, and satirical portrayal of Victorian society.

In addition to his plays, Wilde also wrote novels, including "The Picture of Dorian Gray," which tells the story of a beautiful young man who makes a Faustian pact to remain young and beautiful while his portrait ages and becomes ugly. The novel caused controversy when it was first published in 1890 because of its decadent themes and homoerotic undertones.

Despite his literary success, Wilde's personal life was tumultuous. In 1895, he was convicted of homosexual acts and sentenced to two years of hard labor. The trial and subsequent imprisonment destroyed his reputation and health, and he died in Paris in 1900, at the age of 46.

Wilde's legacy lives on through his works, which continue to be celebrated for their wit, humor, and social commentary. His writing has influenced generations of writers, and his plays continue to be performed and adapted for film and television. Today, Wilde is remembered not only as a great writer, but also as a symbol of resistance against Victorian moralism and hypocrisy.
