Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854β1900) was an Irish poet and playwright who became one of the most popular in London during the 1880s and 1890s. Well-known for his sharp wit and extravagant attire, Wilde was a proponent of aestheticism and wrote in a variety of forms including poetry, fiction, and drama. He was famously imprisoned for homosexual acts from 1895 to 1897 and died at the age of 46, just three years after his release. Other notable works by this author include: βPicture of Dorian Grayβ (1890), βSalomeβ (1891), and βThe Importance of Being Earnestβ (1895).
