Autor

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish poet and playwright known for his biting satire and sharp-edged wit. His comic plays including A Woman of No Importance, Lady Windermere's Fan, An Ideal Husband, and The Importance of Being Earnest brought him widespread fame. The Picture of Dorian Gray, criticized as overly provocative and immoral in Victorian England at the time, was Wilde's only novel. Wilde died in poverty and obscurity in Paris after having endured a cruel two-year prison sentence for violating Britain's Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885. He was pardoned in 2017.
