Cover of Oscar Wilde: Children in Prison (PDF)

While Oscar Wilde is now strongly associated with the tone of whimsy that imbues his breezy, effortlessly witty epigrams and essays, the Irish writer and playwright was also a serious thinker who, having been sentenced to two years of hard labor as a punishment for his homosexuality, was deeply engaged with the social issues of his day. This essay, penned as a letter to a newspaper soon after Wilde’s release from prison, takes up the moral issue of penal sentences for juveniles, a question that still has great relevance today.
