A man as tormented as he was beloved, Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) overcame a life of extraordinary ups and downs to become a world-renowned playwright, author and poet. Wilde’s work is fraught with the insights of a man who possessed a deep understanding of both the positives and perils of society.

Criticized for what was perceived as an “effeminate nature” and oppressed by a largely homophobic world, Wilde remained resilient. He used his experiences to form brilliant, if controversial, literary works, including The Importance of Being Earnest.Today, he is remembered as one of the most influential writers of the Victorian era.
