Author : Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde was an Irish writer, poet, and playwright, known for his sharp wit, flamboyant style, and brilliant use of language. Born in 1854, Wilde became famous for his plays, such as The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband, as well as his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray. Wilde's works often explored themes of aesthetics, morality, and the complexities of human nature. He was also known for his epigrams and aphorisms. Wilde's life was marked by scandal; in 1895, he was imprisoned for "gross indecency" due to his homosexual relationships. He died in 1900.
