About the author
Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish poet,
playwright, essayist and novelist. He was one of London’s most
popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for
his witty quotes, humorous plays and novels. Wilde was educated
at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford where he
was involved in the aestheticism movement. His novel, The Picture
of Dorian Gray (1891) and the comic plays, Lady Windermere’s
Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband
(1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), were his
