Oscar WiIde, Irish writer, wit and playwright, c1890
Oscar WiIde, Irish writer, wit and playwright, c1890. Wilde (1854-1900) was an exponent of art for arts sake. His best known novel is The Picture of Dorian Gray. He wrote a book of childrens stories, The House of Pomegranates, and a series of plays including Lady Windermeres Fan, A Woman of No Importance, and The Importance of Being Ernest, which was believed by many to be the first modern comedy in English. Wilde was convicted of sodomy over his relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas in a notorious trial, and was jailed at Reading from 1895-1897. After his release he moved to Paris and wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol, protesting at the inhumane conditions in prisons at the time. He died suddenly in 1900 from meningitis.
