Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish writer, poet, and playwright whose wit, style, and insight made him one of the most celebrated literary figures of the late Victorian era. Born in Dublin, Wilde studied at Trinity College and later at Oxford, where he developed the aesthetic philosophy that would influence much of his work.
Wilde became famous for his sharp social commentary and brilliant dialogue in plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband. His only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, remains one of the most enduring works of Gothic literature, exploring themes of beauty, morality, vanity, and the consequences of a life lived without restraint.
Though his life ended in hardship and exile, Wilde’s writing has continued to captivate readers for more than a century. Today he is remembered not only for his literary achievements but also for the elegance of his prose, his fearless wit, and his enduring reflections on art, identity, and society.
