عن المؤلف
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet, is renowned for his barbed wit, flamboyant dress, and glittering conversational skill. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and at Magdalen College, Oxford, Wilde made a name for himself in a wide variety of literary formats. His only novel, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, stands as a classic of gothic literature, reflecting his fascination with the aesthetic movement and the dual nature of Victorian society. However, Wilde is perhaps best celebrated for his plays, particularly ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ and ‘An Ideal Husband’, which satirize the hypocrisies of high society with sharp humor and clever dialogue. Alongside these more enduring works, his body of literary contributions includes a wealth of poems, short stories like ‘The Happy Prince’, and a profusion of essays. His writing style combined romanticism, decadence, and a particular brand of Irish wit that has ensured his place in the pantheon of literary greats. Tragically, Wilde’s personal life—which included a notorious court case resulting in imprisonment due to his homosexuality, a topic which at the time was considered deeply taboo and a criminal offense—led to his premature decline. Despite his fall from grace during his lifetime, Wilde’s work has gone on to receive continuous acclaim, and he remains an important figure in literature for his contributions to the English language and the commentary embedded within his works.
