Books by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde was a renowned Irish author, poet, and playwright in the late 19th century. Born on October 16, 1854, in Dublin, he was famously known for his wit and flamboyant style. Wilde was a prominent figure in the aesthetic movement, which championed “art for art’s sake”. His most famous works include the novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and the play “The Importance of Being Earnest.” Wilde’s career was marred by his imprisonment for charges of gross indecency in 1895, after his homosexual relationships came to light. Despite his downfall, his sharp wit, brilliant dialogues, and satirical insights into society and humanity continue to resonate with readers and audiences. He passed away on November 30, 1900, in Paris.
