About Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde, the clever, colorful Anglo-Irish writer, is best known for the play The Importance of Being Earnest and the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. He was born in Dublin in 1854 but left when his lady love became engaged to Bram Stoker. He was a leading member of the aesthetic movement and embraced its doctrine, "Art for art's sake." Though married with two children, Wilde was known to have affairs with younger men and was jailed in 1895 for "gross indecency." He died in 1900.
