Oscar Wilde, an Irish poet, playwright, and novelist, is recognized for his sharp sense of humor, extravagant fashion, and keen observation of society’s shortcomings. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, and became the most notable writer of the late 19th century with such works as The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Importance of Being Earnest, and various essays and poetry. His literature is a mixture of very funny and very deep at the same time when it comes to human nature, love, and society, and it often does so in elegant and audacious ways while even challenging the social norms. Apart from writing, Wilde’s life was a constant reflection of the traits of the art world, beauty, individuality, and freedom of thought—so he remained a symbol of creativity and courage for a long time. His personal troubles, including imprisonment, couldn’t bury his legacy, which still today draws readers and artists to him and continues to awaken their imagination worldwide.
