Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin, the son of an
eye-surgeon and a literary hostess and writer (known under the pseudonym
"Speranza"). After studying at Trinity College, Dublin, Wilde went to
Magdalen College, Oxford, where he achieved a double first and won the
Newdigate prize for a poem Ravenna.
While at Oxford he became notorious for his flamboyant wit, talent, charm
and aestheticism, and this reputation soon won him a place in London
society. Bunthorne, the Fleshly Poet in Gilbert and Sullivan's opera Patience
was widely thought to be a caricature of Wilde (though in fact it was
intended as a skit of Rosetti) and Wilde seems to have consciously styled
himself on this figure.
In Wilde gave a one year lecture tour of America, visiting Paris in
before returning to New York for the opening of his first play Vera. In
he married and had two sons, for whom he probably wrote his first book of
fairy tales, The Happy Prince. The next decade was his most prolific and the
time when he wrote the plays for which he is best remembered. His writing
and particularly his plays are epigramatic and witty and Wilde was not afraid
to shock.
This period was also haunted by accusations about his personal life, chiefly
prompted by the Marquess of Queensberry's fierce opposition to the intense
friendship between Wilde and her son, Lord Alfred. These accusations
culminated in in Wilde's imprisonment for homosexual offences.
While in prison, Wilde was declared bankrupt, and after his release he lived
on the generosity of friends. From prison he wrote a long and bitter letter to
Lord Alfred, part of which was afterwards published as De Profundis, but
after his release he wrote nothing but the poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol.
