Irish Playwright, Master Wits & Author of The Picture of Dorian Gray
Lifespan: 1854 – 1900
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854 – 1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and his plays The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband.
Born in Dublin, Ireland, Wilde was educated at Trinity College Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. A central spokesman for Aestheticism, Wilde's razor-sharp wit and social satire explored vanity, art, morality, and double lives.
