    About Oscar Wilde

    Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854–1900) was an internationally known Irish poet, playwright, and aesthete. Born in Dublin, he studied at Trinity College Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford, establishing himself as a prominent figure in the Aesthetic movement, which advocated art for art's sake. Wilde achieved major literary renown in London during the early 1890s. His most famous works include his philosophical novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and clever theatrical comedies such as Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, and his masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest. Celebrated for his brilliant conversational wit and flamboyant personal style, Wilde's career ended abruptly following a high-profile libel trial that resulted in his criminal conviction for gross indecency. Sentenced to two years of hard labor in 1895, he subsequently composed De Profundis and The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Following his release, he lived in exile in France, where he died of meningitis in 1900.
