Biography
Oscar Fingal O'Wills 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. He is remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his criminal conviction for 'gross indecency', imprisonment, and early death at 46. Wilde's brilliant wit and his exploration of beauty, morality, and corruption continue to make him one of the most quoted writers in the English language.
