Oscar Wilde, born in Dublin in 1854, was an iconic Irish writer celebrated for his sharp wit, dazzling style, and profound social commentary. A true polymath, Wilde was a renowned playwright, poet, novelist, and essayist, leaving an indelible mark on the literary landscape of the Victorian era. His works, including the philosophical novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and the plays "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "An Ideal Husband," are celebrated for their epigrammatic brilliance and exploration of aestheticism. Wilde's unconventional behavior and paradoxical remarks made him a celebrity in late 19th-century London, but his public image was dramatically altered in 1895 when he was convicted for homosexual acts, leading to his imprisonment. Despite the controversy, Wilde's legacy endures, and he is remembered as one of the most influential and quotable writers in the English language.
