THE LIFE OF OSCAR WILDE
Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish poet and playwright.
After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London’s most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Wilde became one of the best-known personalities of his day, known for his biting wit, flamboyant dress and glittering conversational skill. Themes in his writings include decadence, duplicity, beauty and biting satire.
Wilde is also known for his famous arrest and imprisonment, for the crime (at that time) of homosexuality. After many, he was convicted and sentenced to 2 years hard labor for his crime.
During his last year in prison, he wrote De Profundis (published posthumously in 1905), a long letter which discusses his spiritual journey through his trials, forming a dark counterpoint to his earlier philosophy of pleasure.
Wilde’s life and work remain some of the most popular subjects in English literature and the themes of his work echo as strongly today as they did in his own time
